Sigh, the `mkdirhier' that ships with GHC is broken (having . in file
paths is fine, the script's problem is that it doesn't correctly
unravel anything but the simplest file paths).
I've appended a substitute that works better (derived from Noah Friedman's
mkinstalldirs script), replace mkdirhier with this and have another go.
--Sigbjorn
#!/bin/sh
#
# create a hierarchy of directories, a mixture between
# the glafp-utils/mkdirhier/ and Noah Friedman's mkinstalldirs
#
errs=0
for f in $*; do
parts=`echo ":$f" | sed -ne 's/^:\//#/;s/^://;s/\// /g;s/^#/\//;p'`
path="";
for p in $parts; do
path="$path$p"
case "$path" in
-* ) path=./$path ;;
esac
if test ! -d "$path"; then
echo "mkdir $path" #1>&2
mkdir "$path" || lasterr=$?
if test ! -d "$path"; then
errs=$lasterr
fi
fi
path="$path/";
done;
done
exit $errs
# end of story
