I try to generate Turkish spell file for Vim from a word list with the following command:

mksp /tmp tr_TR.words

tr_TR.words resides in C:\Program Files\Vim\vim72

Vim starts reading the word file but the process is interrupted before completion. Vim gives the following error message:

Compressed 5110514 of 6389213 nodes; 1278699 (20%) remaining
Writing spell file /tmp/tr.utf-8.spl ...
E484: Can't open file/tmp/tr.utf-8.spl

I use Gvim 7.2 on Win 7. The word list file tr_TR.words contains lines of words such as:

aba
abaca
abacası
abacı

I couldn’t find the cause of this error on internet. Do you have any suggestions?

Well if you are on windows, you should know, there is no /tmp directory. So try:

mksp YOUR_INPUT_FILE_PATH\FILENAME C:\tmp\tr_TR.words
