Hello,

I would like to create/delete directories from my SDL app.
Does SDL or any additionnal lib provides portable way to deals with
directories?

SDL does not cover filesystem management.  I wrote a C++ wrapper for the C headers <sys/stat.h> and <dirent.h>, called goodIO, that you might find useful:http://code.bluedinosaurs.com/c++.html


The functions you want are ioNewDir, ioDelete, and ioList.  You probably have to do recursive deletion yourself in order to delete a directory (I guess that's something to add to goodIO).  You can check out the source for those functions to see how to use stat, mkdir, unlink/remove, and opendir/readdir as well.

You could also use Boost Filesystem.

thanks. But do I need to get all boost lib (too big) or just filesystem module?

You will have to download the whole Boost package, but you can use the
filesystem library by itself. The filesystem library is one of the few
libraries that need to be compiled (most are header-only). If you're using
Windows + Visual Studio, there are instructions to get it working
(look under section 5.2):
