[Mingw-msys] Permission Denied Error

[Jeff G. <jef...@po...>]

Hi All,

I have a directory full of (non-Msys) command line development tools - some
of which overlap the tools provided Msys (grep, make, etc).  For the project
I am working on, I am required to use these (other) tools, but I'd like to
do it from within the BASH shell provided by Msys.  The problem is, every
time I try to run *any* of these tools from within the Msys BASH shell, I
get a "Permission denied" error (I am cd'ing into the directory containing
the tool and doing a "./<tool.exe>").  If, on the other hand, I open a DOS
shell, cd to the same directory, and run the tool - all works as expected.
Any idea why the tools won't run from within the Msys BASH shell?

I've copied other executables into the directory in question (like
wordpad.exe), and they've run correctly - which seems to eliminate any weird
permission problems on the directory tree.

MSYS 1.0.1.0 / WinXP Professional

Thanks for any input.

What dll's exist in your tools directory?

Do the commands work when not in the tools directory?

These appear to be 16bit dos programs.

Does ``cmd //c 386link'' execute the command?

Earnie - yes, it does.  So, is this the "correct" way to run these programs
from the Msys BASH shell?

If so, how would the following DOS line translate?

c:\F77L3\bin\make.exe comp=msoft32

I tried this:

cmd //c /c/F77L3/bin/make.exe comp=msoft32

but it doesn't seem to quite work as expected.  It's almost like the
"comp=..." argument is not getting through correctly...

Basically, I'm trying to put together a BASH script to replicate the above
DOS line (among other things).

Any other advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

What version of MSYS?

Using my regression binary I see

<stdio>
$ ./mingw32-echo.exe comp=msoft32
comp=msoft32
</stdio>

So it should work.

So, what I'll suggest if you get it working is to create a script or 
scripts to execute the binaries.

<script name="/usr/local/bin/f77l3-make">
#!/bin/sh
cmd //c c://F77L3/bin/make.exe "$@"
</script>

Then you would do ``f77l3-make comp=msoft32''.

Describe the problems?  I don't see that it should be a problem.  You 
may need to create an executable with your compiler/linker that dumps 
the arguments as they were received to determine the differences.
