/tmp/... directory *does* exist, but the \tmp\... directory does not. (And indeed, why should it, since the invocation didn't ask for it?)
Notice that both GHC and the mingw system calls (the MS provided C runtime functions, really) are capable of understanding paths that contain either "/" or "\" as directory separators, so you're reading too much into the slashes being reversed in that output message.
So am I right in thinking that if GHC did no internal filepath mangling whatsoever, everything file-related would just work? Regards, Malcolm
