Re: Problems with file permissions during a build


Hi Corinna,

you seem to have hit the right spot. The parent directories had the
permission ------
according to Cygwin, but I could still enter them via cd. Things go
wrong if under Cygwin
a file gets _copied_ via cp or something similar that takes the file
permissions according
to POSIX from the parent file. Then the copy gets the same unuseable
permissions,
but this time for real (that is: Windows agrees that they should not
be readable!)

The build is still running, but I have good hopes this time it can complete.

Regards,

Arjen
