Problem building with substitute sources

[John Stevenson-Hoare]

Thanks Peter.

I tried ‘chmod –R u+rw *’ from the ‘override’ folder and this produced the same result. However trying ‘chmod –R u+x *’ got me a bit further. The build started but failed with the following error:

configure: creating ./config.status
.in'ig.status: error: cannot find input file: `
Failed: ./configure --host=${build_host} --build=${build_system} --prefix="$root" --disable-static --disable-dependency-tracking PKG_CONFIG=pkg-config PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="${root}/lib/pkgconfig" PKG_CONFIG_PATH= CC="${build_host}-gcc -static-libgcc" CPPFLAGS="${cppflags} -I${root}/include" CFLAGS="${cflags}" CXXFLAGS="${cxxflags}" LDFLAGS="${ldflags} -L${root}/lib" "$@" (line 271)

Any ideas anyone?

Hi,

Not an expert on the build process, but some thoughts..

The permission might come with the permissions on the files in git.
Since your using cygwin you _should_ be able to set whatever file permissions you want. Such as
chmod -R u+rw *
to set read and write permission for user on all files in the current directory.

cheers

I am trying to build with substitute sources using Cygwin on my Windows 7 64 bit PC.

I first performed a ‘git clone’ of the openslide ‘C’ library. Next I ran the ‘autoreconf –i’ command in that folder from my Cygwin64 Terminal.

I then created an ‘override/openslide’ folder (using Windows) in my ‘openslide-winbuild’ folder and copied (using Windows) the entire contents (except the .git folder and .gitignore file) of my ‘openslide’ folder to that location.

Changed directory to ‘openslide-winbuild’ and ran ‘./build.sh –m64 bdist’ from the terminal.

The following is reported:

Unpacking openslide from override directory...
Building openslide...
./build.sh: line 271: ./configure: Permission denied
Failed: ./configure --host=${build_host} --build=${build_system} --prefix="$root" --disable-static --disable-dependency-tracking PKG_CONFIG=pkg-config PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="${root}/lib/pkgconfig" PKG_CONFIG_PATH= CC="${build_host}-gcc -static-libgcc" CPPFLAGS="${cppflags} -I${root}/include" CFLAGS="${cflags}" CXXFLAGS="${cxxflags}" LDFLAGS="${ldflags} -L${root}/lib" "$@" (line 271)

I had previously built the entire sources without the override folder and in order to trigger the override to occur deleted the ‘libopenslide-0.dll’ from the ‘root/bin’ folder and the ‘libopenslide.a and .la’ files from the ‘root/lib’ folder.

Using ‘ls –al’ reports that the ‘64/build/openslide-3.4.0’ folder has the following permissions:

d---------+ 1 JSHoare unix products 0 Apr 16 11:32 openslide-3.4.0

Any ideas where I might have gone wrong? Thanks.
