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 -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
