SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses installation issues encountered while configuring Cygwin with NetBeans on Windows. The user reports a "Permission denied" error related to the ".dep.inc" file during compilation, despite following installation instructions from two specific blogs. The suggested solution involves changing file permissions to ensure that files are not set to read-only, which can occur when copying files from CDs or DVDs. The user is advised to check the permissions of the entire directory tree after installation to resolve the issue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Cygwin environment setup
  • Familiarity with NetBeans IDE (version 6.5 mentioned)
  • Basic knowledge of file permissions in Windows
  • Experience with compiling programs using makefiles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to configure Cygwin with NetBeans for Windows
  • Learn about managing file permissions in Windows
  • Explore troubleshooting common Cygwin installation errors
  • Investigate the use of makefiles in Cygwin for compiling programs
USEFUL FOR

Developers and programmers setting up Cygwin with NetBeans, particularly those facing installation and permission issues on Windows systems.

Hello, I'm a bit of a noob so bear with me. I have gotten all of this to work on one computer but on installing it on another computer I've run into problems. I followed the instructions at this link

http://royalexander.wordpress.com/2009/03/20/configuring-cygwin-cc-compiler-for-netbeans-65-under-windows/

to a tee but when I try to compile a program on NetBeans it gives the following error:

/bin/sh: .dep.inc: Permission denied
make: *** [.depcheck-impl] Error 1
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 765ms

I've done the installation over and was vigilant to not make silly mishaps and I still get the same error. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks for your help!

Looks like there's a file named ".dep.inc" that is either un-openable or missing. The first thing I do after an install is go to the top of the directory tree and un-set read-only permissions all the way down suing the properties panel in a file-manager program. Often when copying from {C,DV}D's files get stuck in read-only.
