Hi Corinna, I was using a "gmake" not the cygwin "make", and that was generating the windows path. I've moved over to the cygwin supplied make and fixed up all the relevant environment variables. No windows paths anymore but I'm still getting the permission problem.
None of the scripts are created dynamically. I'd tried strace before, but didn't really know how to interpret the output or locate the relevant bits. (is there an article that describes the output?) I've run the make again under strace and posted the output of both strace and make (I couldn't find how to have the output of both go to the same file) to www.johndaintree.com/index.htm. Would it be too much to ask that you take a look? Thanks for your help, john. -----Original Message----- From: Corinna Vinschen [mailto:corinna-cyg...@cygwin.com] Sent: 29 October 2009 13:39 To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: "Permission denied" on /usr/bin/sh when running gmake with multiple jobs http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TOFU On Oct 29 11:25, John Daintree wrote: > Can you shed some light on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/111950? > I may need to get my local cygwin build working to investigate this further. >> "J:\trunk\svn\apl\win\bin\mk_cc: >> /cygdrive/j/trunk/svn/apl/allos/bin/verbose: /usr/bin/sh: bad interpreter: >> Permission denied" Where's this Windows path coming from? Are you sure you're using only Cygwin tools? If so, get rid of the Win32 path and use either the matching /cygdrive path, or mount (the relevant subtree of) drive J to some other POSIX path. The permission denied is probably not the permission of sh itself, but the permissions of the script. It's lacking execute permissions, perhaps. If the script gets generated during the make run, it might be a race. One job tries to use the script before another job has run chmod on the script. Instead of building your own debug version of Cygwin, you could also just start with stracing your make runs and see what happens when the script access fails.
