Thread: Problems compiling when using spec file.

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: HOWTO Use the GCC specs file | MinGW

The only Section I've changed is *link_libgcc:, which now looks like this:

Code:

*link_libgcc:
%D -L C:\MinGW\local\lwip-win32-msvc-0.1\proj\msvc6

Whenever I try to compile, I get this error:

Code:

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.

I trust you made that edit to the specs file at C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.5.0\specs ?

In any event, you should use forward slashes instead of backslashes in that file.
