issue with Codewarior 10.3 "mingw32-make: *** Access denied."

ecb — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 18:50:12 GMT

Hi all,

I have an issue with Codewarior 10.3 during project compilation, even after a new installation:

"mingw32-make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs...."

"mingw32-make: *** Access denied."

My configuration:

- AMD64

- Windows 7 64

I did not find solution on the forum... Has anybody a solution? Thank you.

C.B.

hello, please check below: 1. your CW is installed with admin right and you can access CW with windows admin right. 2. your project can read-write access 3. remove .metadata folder in workspace folder then build again.

Thanks for your answer.

Before this problem, the IDE worked normally. The only operation that I made is to empty the Windows trash (I dont understand the relationship...). My session is an admin session and there is all rights on the folders. No other project compiles (in the other existing workspaces).

I removed the .metadata folder then recreated the worspace and imported existing the projects... Nothing changes even with a new basic project.

Hello ecb,

I am experimenting the same problem. My project was working fine yesterday, but today I tried to compile and that error has appeared, I don't know what is happening...

"mingw32-make: *** Access denied."

Do you have CygWin installed (typically it is in C:\Cygwin folder)?

If so, can you rename that folder so Cygwin make is not found and see if this fixes your problem?

is this problem in a specific project or a common issue for all project? do you use evaluation license but now it is expired now?

On all my projects.

This issue seems to be unpredictable because if I launch several compilations (four or five), I obtain a complete one!

Is Cygwin installed with Codewarior eclipse 10.3?

I did not find it on my HDD...

Hi Erich,

I don't have Cygwin installed.

I created a new project using processor expert and this is the complete trace.

No, there is no Cygwin with CodeWarrior. But I have seen issues in the past where users have installed Cygwin, and the GNU make was diverting to the Cygwin make utility. This has been fixed at least in the MCU10.3 update1. So this was a blind shot.

I still belive this is something with the Windows permissions.

The make utility needs some temporary batch files, so it could be that creation of this is denied:

mingw - CMake fails to compile simple test, error 5 Access denied - Stack Overflow

Hi Erich,

Yesterday I worked with CodeWarrior and I had no problems without changing anything since day before. I was surprised...

But today the problem has appeared again. The cause has been that when I tried to compile, the build task has been blocked and I killed the process. From that moment I couldn't compile again, then, I followed the recommendation of the link in your previous message. I stopped the antivirus and now it works.

Thanks for your help!

I mention the solution:

the probem is probably caused by make deleting and creating helper .bat files. On windows, when deleted file is still referenced by other application (antivirus,windows indexing,etc), it is impossible to create file with same name. (C++/Win32: How to wait for a pending delete to complete?) Make does use same name for newly created .bat file as the one just deleted and gets 'DELETE PENDING' error.

So disabling antivirus helps, but fixing make will be much better. Also you can try o make an exception in your antivirus software.

Hello Erich,

You are right, this is a problem bound to my antivirus. If I disable it, I can compile 10 times successively with no problem at all!

Erich,

Thank you for posting this response!

I encountered a similar problem compiling examples for the FRDM KE02Z and the question I posted linked me to your suggestion. It allowed me to compile but I am curious if you could explain the long term fix? I cannot disable anti-virus every time I need to compile.

Thanks again,

Yusif Nurizade

Hi Yusif,

is the problem with your firewall/virus scanner? Then this is really a problem of a bad (free of charge?) virus scanner. I don't ask you not to use a virus scanner, but use one which is better and correclty handles virus threads. Which one are you using? I'm using McAffee and Norton and never had problems. So it indeed could be with the software you are using.

What could help is that you submit your problem to the vendor of your virus scanner so they could fix it?

I hope this helps.

yusifnurizade — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:36:13 GMT

Erich,

Thank you for the quick reply. I imagine the problem is with the anti-virus due to the suggestion/explanation I found here (linked to StackOverflow) and the fact that I was able to compile when applying this fix. I use Kaspersky which is a paid and fairly well recognized anti-virus that I'm otherwise very happy with.

The term for the anti-virus subscription expires this month so I will address the issue with the vendor and decide whether or not to renew depending on what they say.

Thanks again for the help!

Hello all,

I have the same problem when my antivirus (Kaspersky 2013) is running. I have added mingw32-make as an exception for the antivirus, but still does not work. The only way is to close the antivirus before compiling. Any new ideas? Is this going to be fixed?

Best regards

Marcos

Hi Marcos,

>>"Is this going to be fixed?"

I would say this is a question to Kapersky?

Best regards,

Erich

Hey Marcos,

I am working with Kaspersky as well and originally put up this discussion:

https://community.freescale.com/thread/314439

Since turning off Kaspersky is not a long term solution, I've contacted the company and have been led through a bunch of steps by the support staff. So far nothing has done the trick and since I was able to compile my own projects (not downloaded samples) I put the issue on the back burner. Yesterday, however, I started getting the error again with a project that I created from scratch (albeit sporadically) so I am again focused on resolving it. The latest email from support was a rather long set of steps which I will try tomorrow and report back as soon as I am able.

Best,

Yusif

Hey Erich,

yes, this is probably a question for them, but I think Freescale should contact Kaspersky to solve the issue. I'm sure you (Freescale - wow!) can get a faster and better response than me (Marcos who?). Furthermore, you know how your applications are working, so I guess the solution is easier if you cooperate.

Thanks for your help.

Marcos
