How to create a folder on a Mac with C++?

Question

How do you have the user input the folder name and have it created in the desktop (for mac)? This is what I have so far.. (and extra code underneath)

#include &         


        

Answer 1

Environment variables are case sensitive, so you need to use getenv("HOME") instead of getenv("Home").

Answer 2

Use Boost Library (though there will be overhead of setting up boost on your system but its worth for doing many other stuffs in C++): boost::filesystem::create_directories()

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

// your code....

boost::filesystem::create_directories("/bla/a");
