RE: [microblaze-uclinux] ERROR:MDT - Cannot assign write permissions for

Hi Jag,

XPS does not create any user accounts. When libgen runs in XPS, it creates directories and copies files but does not create any group or user accounts.

Subject: [microblaze-uclinux] ERROR:MDT - Cannot assign write permissions for directory

i am trying to implement a tutorial design using microblaze and Xilinx'x Spartan-3 starter kit. i was about to generate libraries and BSPs when the following errors occured:

INTERNAL_ERROR:MDT:MdtBas_Common.c:914:1.80.4.1 - Can not create valid UT_DIR
object in MakeWriteable
ERROR:MDT - Cannot assign write permissions for directory
F:\XPS_projects\2006\SP3StarterKit\microblaze_0
make: *** [microblaze_0/lib/libxil.a] Error 2

I have visited Xilinx's website and found this solution but didn't work:
Solution 1:
The permissions on a given PC fluctuates and will be solely dependant on the sensitivity of the design environment, and any policy established by a company's IT department. Xilinx has no control over such fluctuations, but requires that a project directory have both read and write permissions. There are additional directory permissions that give all users permission to a given directory. Several cases have been seen where all user permissions needed to be set to work around this error. The individual company's IT department needs to modify the user permissions if problems persist.

i have browsed the folders and found out that the directory ...\microblaze_0\libsrc\cpu_v1_00_a\src has no permissions for the CREATOR GROUP and CREATOR OWNER. I have attempted to give this users a full permission on the folder but it won'y allow me to do so. It seems that (please correct me if i am wrong) these user account are created by the XPS and/or ISE.

has anyone experienced this same problem before? i can't proceed with my design if i can't find a workaround on this particular problem.

i am using Platform Studio 7.1.02i and Xilinx ISE 7.1.04i and both uses an evaluation license. thanks in advance!

regards,
jag
