I have the same problem. I'm running 1.3.13-2. (I'm running GCC 3.2 if that makes any difference).
>g++ -W -Wall CmdLine.cpp -o CmdLine.exe >./CmdLine.exe bash: ./CmdLine.exe: Permission denied >ls -l CmdLine.exe -rw-rw-rw- 1 1643 None 417806 Oct 15 13:59 CmdLine.exe >chmod +rwx CmdLine.exe chmod: changing permissions of `CmdLine.exe': Invalid argument When I look at the security settings in Windows, "Read" and "Write" are checked, but "Read & Execute" is not checked. If I check that, then everything works as it should (I can run the program, I can chmod it). Until I compile it again. Then I get back in the same situation. -Rolf Campbell ======================================= First, upgrade to Cygwin DLL 1.3.13-2. Second, read the recent email list messages related to "ntsec" and it being the new default. Third, check out the user guide if you don't understand what "ntsec" does for you. I can't speak to your issue regarding chmod, since I don't see any problems here and I don't know what you did or even if you're using a Cygwin version of chmod.

After that, I suddenly find that when I compile file with gcc, it generates the bin but I cannot run it. The reason is that the file generated by gcc is -rw-rw-rw-, and I even cannot "chmod" it(output is "chmod: changing permissions of `a.exe': Invalid argument"). Everything is all right before the updates. And I didn't select gcc or any other thing during update. The update is by default. btw, BCC32.exe(borland cpp compiler) works well. I don't know why, so I'm writing this mail asking for help. thanks, -bryan I run cygwin as administrator on: Windows 2000 Professional. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
