The problem is that mingw's stat succeeds for C:\ and C:\foo but fails for C: and C:\foo\. The current code strips a trailing \ before calling stat, and thus fails if asked to create C:\ (which we always do if "make parents" is true, and of course this path could be given explicitly by a user).
What we want is something like
if isDrive x then addTrailingPathSeparator x else dropTrailingPathSeparator x
well, i don't know FilePath library but if it has some sort of canonizeFilename function, this function should make this check yourself and shouldn't strip trailing '\' after ':' for obvious reason - 'c:' and 'c:\' are different directories -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
