Yes, I did that in my project. However I'm wondering the reason and hopefully there will be a fix. ;) Thanks.
I'll try to take a look tonight. Luckily, I have a windows box I can test on. I'm thinking that this is mainly just a problem how windows handles paths. https://github.com/ghc/packages- directory/blob/master/System/Directory.hs#L194 -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8342#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
