Hello,
please take a look at the attached patch... it is a first attempt to solve following timestamp warnings and files reset to zero bytes:

Warning: Failed to set timestamp on file

Warning: Failed to set timestamp on file

with the attached patch paths are corrected but timestap still fails and files are reset to zero bytes anyway... is there a solution out there?

Best regards.

I'm not sure why you cc'd me. I generally don't work on fpmake and virtually never use Windows. Maybe you meant to CC Joost van der Sluis instead?
