Access denied when trying to build

[tyczj]

I cloned the repo and its submodules then when I try to run the make command on the project I get Access denied errors and it just hangs.

I tried opening the windows command prompt as administrator and that made no difference

C:\Users\Jeff\Desktop\t4\iot-device-sdk-embedded-c>make
# Using build PRESET "POSIX_REL" to set CONFIG and TARGET variables:
.    IOTC_BSP_PLATFORM: [posix]
.    IOTC_BSP_TLS:      [mbedtls]

I dont see what I am missing here?

What I see in the logs there: it complains about 1) directory access denied and 2) file not found - -name

And

atigyi:~/.../iot-edge-sdk-embedded-c/make$ grep -R "\ \-name" .
./mt-config/tests/mt-gtest.mk:IOTC_GTEST_SOURCES := $(shell find $(LIBIOTC)/src -name "*_test.cc")
./mt-config/tests/mt-gtest.mk:IOTC_GTEST_SOURCES += $(shell find $(LIBIOTC)/src/tests -name "*.cc")

src and src/test folders match. I think this is the problem the Windows make complains about..."first".

Let's not focus on this, but rather on Windows native build isn't supported by this SDK's make system. Please try with cygwin on Windows or rather use a linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu) to build this SDK.

I had a feeling that I was going to have to use linux to build it, I will give that a try
