Drewmate Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to follow the instructions on http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions , and I am running update-workspaces.bat to generate my visual studio solution files, but each of the three lines in the batch file fails when executing premake4.exe with the single line "Access is denied." It seems like it's trying to create the folders. but it doesn't have permission to write there or something. I've tried making sure that my user has write permissions for that folder (I do) and I've even run it as administrator just to be sure, but I get the same message either way.Does anyone know what's going on here? For reference I am running Windows 7, I used cygwin and svn to download the source, and I've been using cmd to run the batch file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hmm, Cygwin doesn't sound like an advisable way of checking out the source code, though I can't say if it's to blame for this error. Are you using the latest version of Cygwin?Perhaps more helpfully, can you check the Windows event logs for more details on the access denied error?

Drewmate Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Gosh... I went and figured it out. Somehow I didn't have execute permissions on premake4.exe. Don't ask me how that got changed... but that's why I was getting the 'Access is denied' error. I changed that and the batch script ran fine... On to the next step Edited June 18, 2012 by Drewmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
