My guess is that this is a cygwin Win or Posix thingie.
What happens if you force the boost.filesystem to compile cygwin as
posix?
I know that this is not the easiest thing to change... it involves
changing
boost/libs/filesystem/src:
exception.cpp
operations_posix_windows.cpp
path_posix_windows.cpp
Actually... easy solution... make sure that BOOST_POSIX is defined.
f.ex in our config.h.
put
#define BOOST_POSIX 1
there
If that fixes cygwin, then we know what is wrong.
