So I am trying to configure and install mutt, and the first error I see is at the end of configure: configure: creating ./config.status chmod: changing permissions of './config.status': Permission denied configure: error: write failure creating ./config.status Well, looks like its right: [~/src/mutt]> chmod +x config.status chmod: changing permissions of ‘config.status’: Permission denied [~/src/mutt]> uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.3 ux31a 2.0.0(0.287/5/3) 2015-04-15 17:39 x86_64 Cygwin [~/src/mutt]> getfacl . # file: . # owner: ismail # group: ismail user::rwx group::r-x group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Administrators:rwx mask:r-x other:r-x default:user::rwx default:group::r-x default:group:SYSTEM:rwx default:group:Administrators:rwx default:mask:r-x default:other:r-x [~/src/mutt]> getfacl config.status # file: config.status # owner: ismail # group: ismail user::rwx group::r-x group:SYSTEM:rwx group:Administrators:rwx mask:r-x other:r-x Any ideas? :) Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/TESTERS-needed-New-POSIX-permission-handling-tp117406p117621.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
