Windows has native versions of mkdir and echo. The native mkdir won't
like being passed Unix filenames, as it treats / as indicating
options:
C:\>mkdir /foo
The syntax of the command is incorrect.
Fortunately, this bug shoud be quite simple to fix: use the mkdir()
function rather than using system() to run the mkdir command. Could
someone try the attached patch?
Unfortunately, GRASS has a lot of this sort of stuff - using system()
to run commands rather than using functions; probably because the
author knew about the command but didn't know about the function. I've
even seen system("rm ...") used to delete files.
Finding (and fixing) all of the Unix-specific system() calls will be a
large part of getting a native Windows version of GRASS to work.
