How to give permission for MinGW to write to a folder?

Question

MinGW

I'm trying to build wxWidgets-2.8.12 with MinGW.
When compiling, I get this beautiful message:

PS E:\Developers\wxWidgets-2.8.12\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\msw> mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 BUILD=rele
ase
if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll
process_begin: CreateProcess( NULL, E:/Developers/Qt/5.3.0/Tools/mingw482_32/bin/ -c "if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_
mswudll", ...) failed.
make (e=5):
makefile.gcc:3908: recipe for target 'gcc_mswudll' failed

Which translates from Mordorian: access denied. I tried to go along the path: Context menu->Properties->Security and give access to the Everyone group there - it did not help. Naturally, I can easily create all these folders from the console. What is the problem?

Answer 1

Have you tried running mingw as administrator? in the properties of the file there is "always run as administrator"
