There is not platform-independent way of doing it...thus, you need to check what the C run-time or API of the correpsonding operating system has to offer...which one are you using?

AFAIK, there should be a 'mkdir' function...

There is relatively portable boost method create_directory.

no respectable *nix programmer would call them "folders". They are directories. :rolleyes:

Well...I guess that I does not have that much respect for my *nix then (IOW, my directories can be folders if they want)... :eek:

Is ::CreateDirectory a Windows specific function? How to create directory using C++ on Linux?

Are there any C++ functions available (that create directory on Linux) written by someone who would like to share to others?

o/w; Is there a built-in C++ function that creates directory and will runs on Linux (no Windows specific stuff?

Thanks!

RoboTact has already given the answer. Use boost::filesystem and you'll have the bonus of having OS independent code.

Andres also posted a function that is portable between *nix and MS-Windows -- mkdir().

i had to create directories in windows using VC++
I can get CreateDirectory to work only when the path is like " c:/face"
If I give "c:/face/images" it doesnt create the folder, not even face, any help would be appreciated.

if I have c:/face created then it creates ./image also :?
