[MinPSPW] realpath() not implemented?

Hi,

Seems that realpath() has been implemented since rev 1121, but I am unable to use this, as compiling my program returns

Code: Select all

error&#58; 'realpath' was not declared in this scope

Include files:

Code: Select all

#include "stdio.h"
#include <unistd.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Am I missing an include file somewhere?

Googled:

realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to ’/./’, ’/../’ and extra ’/’ characters in the null terminated string named by path and stores the canonicalized absolute pathname in the buffer of size PATH_MAX named by resolved_path. The resulting path will have no symbolic link, ’/./’ or ’/../’ components.

ok so basically it means /home/hello/..//what and changes it to /home/what

No, I think the absolute path name would be complete from ms0:/
