RE: Continued: small DOS program fails (Permission Denied) when run f rom Bash in XEmacs

[Karr, David]

Verified.  I got it working outside of XEmacs, verifying it produced an
output file, then I removed the output file and reran it inside XEmacs, and
the output file was not created.  It still fails with "Permission Denied" in
XEmacs.

Just because you don't see output doesn't mean it didn't get there.  Try
writing to a file, flush it, and close it.

OK, running with ntsec set in your CYGWIN environment variable?

I don't know about that.  Could you give me a quick summary of how that works?
I'll check the Cygwin user guide later for more details.

Would this have something to do with whether Cygwin knows you as your login
name or as "administrator"?  I realize that the people in my group who don't
have this same symptom always are known as "administrator" in Cygwin.  I always
set up my Cygwin installation so it knows my name (mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd).

set CYGWIN=ntsec
bash --login

See the user's guide for more details.

Could be.  You apparently have a domain account.  This won't be part of the
local administrators group I'm assuming.  This should only be a problem if
ntsec is set (see above) AFAIK but you might eliminate that as a variable 
by logging is as a local user which is part of the local administrators 
group.

Continued: small DOS program fails (Permission Denied) when run from Bash in XEmacs

[Karr, David]

This is a continuation of an earlier issue.  I have a small DOS program,
compiled and linked with MS tools, which executes fine in a standalone "cmd"
window, and in a standalone Bash window, and within GNU make in either
window.  However, when the Bash shell is running in XEmacs, it fails with
"Permission Denied".  I put a printf at the top of "main", and it isn't
getting there.  I would really appreciate some help understanding what is
going on here.

I even tried printing "env" in the "good" and "bad" environments and
manually setting (or unsetting) all the variables in the "bad" environment
to match the "good" one, then rerunning it, but that didn't help.  However,
there were two variables set in the "good" environment that I didn't set in
the "bad" environment, because I didn't understand them.  They looked like
this (straight from the "env" output):

  !C:=C:\WINNT\PROFILES\david.karr\DESKTOP
  !D:=D:\cygwin\bin

What can I do to get any kind of clue of what is going on here?

Maybe some of the tools at www.sysinternals.com would help.  I still suspect
that you are not running the program that you think you're running.

I've tried specifying both a relative and absolute path to the executable.  I'm
already using "filemon" from sysinternals, and it tells me next to nothing,
except for confirming I'm getting the correct executable.

Just because you don't see output doesn't mean it didn't get there.  Try
writing to a file, flush it, and close it.

Done.  No difference.  I verified the file writing worked in the cases where I
can run the executable.  When I get the "Permission Denied" error, the output
file isn't created.

The only barely unusual thing about this executable is that it has a function
with ASM code defined in it, although the function is never executed.  The
purpose of the application is to write out a binary file with the contents of
the function (and some other code).
