Hi,
I'm having problems hosting a ISE/EDK 8.1 SP3 project on a file server.
The server runs Samba3 on Redhat. The workstation is WinXP and mounts a server folder with the "drive letter" method.
When creating a new project, I get errors like "the destination folder is read-only" (which is not true). When I create the project on a local disk and copy it over to the network share later, most things work. Only the EDK submodule continue to produce errors, for example "error deleting ./src/microblaze - folder does not exist".
EDK starts up with a message "CMD.EXE error, the current directory (\\server\share\folder\) may not be a UNC network path, changing to C:\". To me it seems that this may be the root cause for the subsequent errors.
Note that I never used the \\server\share path, but rather worked through a driveletter mount. The ISE/EDK tools seem to resolve the driveletter to a fully qualified network path, and then choke on it.
Is there a solution for this? I would really like to host the project on the server. I wouldn't mind to install other filesharing services (or a windows file server), if that helps.
Regards, Marc
