Mkdir() failing [SOLVED]

[bootfinder]

When I call mkdir() as follows:
int e = mkdir(dir, S_IRWXU|S_IRWXG);
where:
char dir[] = "~/.cfg";

I get the error "No such file or directory"

Why is this?

Hi,

This question is not really Qt related but more linux related. AFAIK ~ is not expanded so the path is relative and doesn't exist.

Want to do it the Qt way ? Look at QDir and QStandardPaths

Hope it helps
