Dear NG

I need to add to a Photoshop plugin a function that takes an std::string
argument and creates a folder hierarchy using mkdir(). I am starting to
think this is not doable with CW 9.5 :

Config : I have CW 9.5 + Mac OSX Universal SDK 10.4

Issue : The following two lines will not compile :
#include <fstat.h>
#include <string>

with access paths set to
{Compiler}MSL/MSL_C (recursive)
{Compiler}MSL/MSL_C++ (recursive)
{Compiler}MSL/MSL_Extras/MSL_Common (recursive)
{OS X Volume}usr/include (not recursive)

Symptom : CW complains that identifier dev_t is redeclared (and gid_t
etc...)

I have exhausted all the combinations of access path order / #include
order etc : No matter what, some identifier is redefined or missing or
some include path is not found.

My question is thus:
What should be the target settings / #include order to compile those two
lines (which are merely a prerequisite for writing the function I need)
?

I believe that the problem is much deeper than it seems and that I am
unwittingly mixing MSL headers with BSD headers and that this is not
supported by CW (or at least only partially supported). However, I
cannot figure where this happens and how to avoid it.

Thanks for your help.
