The file is then copied to a separate directory and the additional permissions are lost, so now doing an ls -lrt gives: ---------- 1 myname Domain Users 14436 Jul 8 13:04 mylib.lib The '+' is gone. So does anyone know why the file permissions get removed when the file is copied? Thanks, Ian icc97 wrote: > > I'm having trouble compiling static libraries using cl.exe from Visual > Studio 2008.
