Compiling for the first time Cygwin problem -- SOLVED

(1/1)

blueblazer22x:
I'm trying to compile a normal build for the Cowon D2 using the "Simplified Guide to Compiling Rockbox".   I'm new to compiling and I'm using Cygwin.  Everything works up until I "make zip" then I get errors.  Below is a sample of those errors, most of which pertain to the WPS:


zip warning: Permission denied
        zip warning: could not open for reading: .rockbox/icons/tango_small.bmp
zip warning: Permission denied
        zip warning: could not open for reading: .rockbox/icons/tango_small_view

zip warning: Permission denied
        zip warning: could not open for reading: .rockbox/wps/boxes/backdrop-320
x240.bmp
zip warning: Permission denied
        zip warning: could not open for reading: .rockbox/wps/boxes/battery-colo

Sorry if I'm just dumb but what am I doing wrong?


EDIT:  Finally figured it out.  I'm on Vista 64 and I tried running Cygwin by right-clicking and choosing "Run As Administrator".  This fixed the issue of getting "permission denied" during the "make zip" command.
