CCS: "Permission Denied" Build Error -- Requires Administrator Privileges

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello CCS Team,

I have a customer who is having Build Errors where we are seeing a "Permission Denied" error, this is resolved with opening CCStudio as an Administrator although we are wondering if there is a way to resolve this a different way.

The error he is seeing can be seen below,

making package.mak (because of package.bld) ...
generating interfaces for package configPkg (because package/package.xdc.inc is older than package.xdc) ...
subdir_rules.mk:19: recipe for target 'build-1790729617-inproc' failed
/cygdrive/c/ti/xdctools_3_50_08_24_core/bin/rm: cannot remove `.interfaces': Permission denied
gmake.exe: *** [.interfaces] Error 1
js: "C:/ti/xdctools_3_50_08_24_core/packages/xdc/tools/Cmdr.xs", line 52: Error: xdc.tools.configuro: configuration failed due to earlier errors (status = 2); 'linker.cmd' deleted.
gmake[2]: *** [build-1790729617-inproc] Error 1
subdir_rules.mk:16: recipe for target 'build-1790729617' failed
gmake[1]: *** [build-1790729617] Error 2
gmake[1]: Target 'main-build' not remade because of errors.
makefile:174: recipe for target 'all' failed
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Do we have some kind of explanation for this?

Cheers,

Akash

It seems that they do not have appropriate permissions (specifically write permission) to the /Debug/configPkg directory. The configPkg directory is created as part of the RTSC build process, and the build seems to be failing when RTSC tries to delete contents of this directory, likely because they do not have permissions to do that. Please have them check the permission on that directory and let us know if that helps.

Akash,

I'm not clear what the customer wants to discuss or what their current situation is. The reason for the error is lack of permissions. Were they able to resolve it by ensuring they had write permissions to that directory?

They are unable to do this but I've heard you should not need to launch as an administrator every time. Is there something we can do with the .interfaces file?

Cheers,

Akash,
we had a similar problem before with Cygwin creating files with unusual permission settings. For example, see this thread e2e.ti.com/.../907361

You'll see there that we recommended setting the environment variable CYGWIN to "nontsec". If I recall that correctly, customers had to remove the files and directories with incorrect permissions first, then set the environment variable, sometimes reboot, and then rebuild.

Another approach is to switch to XDCtools 3.55, if possible. That release uses a newer version of Cygwin, and I haven't seen any reports of incorrect permissions with XDCtools 3.55.

Here are more threads with similar problems, just for the reference
