Hi, I'm trying to add a MinGW Default Library search path using a spec file I've placed at /mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/<version>/ as instructed by this page here: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/SpecsFileHOWTO The only Section I've changed is *link_libgcc:, which now looks like this: *link_libgcc: %D -L C:\MinGW\local\lwip-win32-msvc-0.1\proj\msvc6 Whenever I try to compile, I get this error: g++: c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.0/specs: Permission denied Does anybody know what I have to do to correct this? I'm running Windows 7 x64. My UAC is disabled, and I've already tried setting g++ and gcc to "run as administrator". Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problems-compiling-when-using-spec-file.-tp30733434p30733434.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
