boost filesystem compile warnings – boost system posix

If you are using boost::filesystem in your C++ code and getting are some build warnings along the lines of:

‘boost::system::posix_category’ defined but not used

Then you may find that inserting the following code before #including boost/filesystem gets rid of them for you:

#ifndef BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED
#define BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED 1
#endif
#include

This gets rid of some the deprecated stuff that was causing the warnings.

I found this handy tip here:
