Message91117
Shortly following this exception, I tried to create the directory myself
C:\...> mkdir slut-0.9\aux
The directory name is invalid.
Curiously, I searched the internet for why a directory named 'aux'
cannot be created anywhere on the Windows filesystem. The reason - this
is a 'special' name: http://www.blindedbytech.com/2006/11/16/forbidden-
file-and-folder-names-on-windows/
However, does this mean one can never create a directory named by these
special names? Apparently .. that is what I think is the case. I cannot
even create a folder named 'aux' using Windows explorer! |
