You can use the posix subsystem ( ) and access the functions

_getcwd()/_wgetcwd() Gets the current working directory
_chdir()/_wchdir() Sets the current working directory

If you need your code to be cross platform, you can do the following:

#ifdef _WIN32
#  include 
#  define getcwd _getcwd
#  define chdir _chrdir
#else
#  include 
#endif

and use getcwd and chdir (w/o the leading underscore).
