Read doc/posix-functions/realpath.texi: mingw and BeOs lack it. mingw is a far cry from unix-like, but a widely-used porting platform. BeOs is Unix-like, but these days, you are more likely to see people porting to Haiku instead, and Haiku has added realpath(). More telling is the fact that Solaris realpath() is buggy (it fails to allocate on a NULL argument, and fails to give an absolute answer for a relative query). > discovered that it offered canonicalize_file_name instead. Try canonicalize-lgpl instead; much lighter-weight, and is the only module that gives you a working realpath(). > People, this is ridiculous. canonicalize no longer even provides realpath(). But again, realpath.texi tells you to use canonicalize-lgpl rather than canonicalize. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
