    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
