From: Brian DOT P DOT Kasper AT notes DOT aero DOT org (Brian P Kasper) Subject: "Final link failed: permission denied" during link? 13 Mar 1998 06:20:02 -0800 Message-ID: <0533C350731F602C*/c=us/admd=0/prmd=aero/o=notes/s=Kasper/g=Brian/i=P/.cygnus.gnu-win32@MHS> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Greetings. I'm having a strange problem linking executables with X11R6.3 and Lesstif (Under Windows NT 4.0 sp3 with an NTFS file system). As far as I can tell, I've installed the X libs properly, and Lesstif compiled under B19.1 without insurmountable errors. I think I have all the libs I need, but whenever I try to link my test program, I see the following: test 509 $ make Linking nt/test.exe ... gcc.exe -O -L/zuul/people/local/lib/nt -L/zuul/usr/X11/lib -o nt/test.exe nt/t est.o -lXm -lX11 /zuul/cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/bin/ld.exe: final link failed: Pe rmission denied make: *** [nt/test.exe] Error 1 I have an object file named test.o in a subdirectory named 'nt'. I am the owner of both the current directory and the nt subdirectory, and I can 'touch' a file in the nt subdirectory, so I believe I have write permission there. Here's what ls -asl shows: test 510 $ ls -asl nt total 1 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 everyone 0 Mar 11 15:38 . 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 544 everyone 0 Mar 11 15:38 .. 1 -rw-rw-rw- 1 1000 everyone 1210 Mar 11 13:09 test.o test 511 $ I tried using 'chmod ugo+rwx *' to give myself (and everyone) permission to do any damn thing they wanted to in this directory, but the problem persists. I'm not even sure what permission is being denied me, though I suspect it's write permission. Does anyone have any ideas? I think I'm tantalizingly close to being able to compile and link X11/lesstif code under WinNT.
