Re: Writing portable code

[michi7x7 <mailing-lists michi7x7 de>]

Hi,

look here: 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glibmm/stable/group__MiscUtils.html#ga9412ea70c7fea058c03211dac318f8e6
This functions return a string usable with Gio::File or Gio::Dir 
(file:///c/Documents and Settings/USERNAME/)

Moreover Gio::File can handle Windows-file-names, so you can read 
environment-variables containing the directories you need.

With regards,

Michi
