Hello,
i´m using mkdir (GNU Fileutils 4.0) of the latest cygwin and it seems that the -p option
is not correct handled with all path-styles:
mkdir -p <driveletter>:/any/path/to/a/new/dir
and
mkdir -p /cygdrive/<driveletter>/any/path/to/a/new/dir
are working correct. But if i write
mkdir -p //<driveletter>/any/path/to/a/new/dir
then the file is not created if it doesn´t exists (wrong), if it exists already
nothing is done (correct).
I know that this pathstyle (//driveletter>/...) is somehow "deprecated" but IMHO
nevertheless it should be handled correct by every tools at least until this style is officially
not supported.
Ciao,
Klaus
