No, the directory is not created: pascaldev@debianlaz:~$ ls ~/fpcbootstrap ls: cannot access /home/pascaldev/fpcbootstrap: No such file or directory What am I doing wrong? Should I spell out the entire path /home/pascaldev/fpcbootstrap/? Leave the trailing slash?
Your shell expands ~ to your home directory. Your program will have to do this manually (i.e. read the "HOME" environment variable).
