Fontconfig - Aug 2012 - X_OK permission is invalid for win32 access(..) calls

Hi,

I have run into a fatal error when initializing fontconfig font cache on 
windows.
I''ve tracked down the problem to _access(.., W_OK|X_OK) call(s) in
fccache.c

According to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1w06ktdy%28v=vs.80%29.aspx 01 
permission (X_OK in mingw/cygwin headers) is not a valid parameter, and 
it causes a fatal error terminating the program.

I''ve been able to hack-around this program by re-implementing
access(..)
in my program and masking out the X_OK (01) bit from the permissions 
bitmask.  However, I would prefer to see this fixed properly at the 
upstream.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. can you file a bug on https://bugs.freedesktop.org please?
