R devel - Sep 2013 - R-3.0.2 - Win7_64 - alone_decoder.c: Permission denied error

Hello.

When trying to compile R-3.0.2 on Windows 7 64bit, I get an error relating to
"alone_decoder.c: Permission denied." The entire error code is copied
below.

	gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -shared   -o Riconv.dll Riconv.def win_iconv.o
	touch stamp
	gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -I../../include -I. -Iapi -DLZMA_API_STATIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
	-DWIN32  -O3 -Wall -pedantic -march=core-avx-i -O3 --param
l1-cache-line-size=64
	 --param l1-cache-size=32 --param l2-cache-size=256   -c alone_decoder.c -o
alone_decoder.o
	cc1.exe: fatal error: alone_decoder.c: Permission denied
	compilation terminated.
	make[5]: *** [alone_decoder.o] Error 1
	make[4]: *** [all] Error 2
	make[3]: *** [rlibs] Error 1
	make[2]: *** [../../bin/x64/R.dll] Error 2
	make[1]: *** [rbuild] Error 2
	make: *** [all] Error 2

However, I do *not* get this error when compiling R-patched as of 9/17/2013
using the exact same parameters on the same system. What does this error mean?
Is it possible something changed between that version and the release which is
causing this error? What may I do to correct the error?

Thank you very much,

Avraham Adler

My problem appears to have been one of ignorance. I did not realize that once
the directories were untarred, that copying the entire tree and renaming it may
break permissions even on Windows. It appears that it does, as starting the
compile immediately and not on a renamed copy seems to be progressing properly
beyond that point.

Thank you,

Well, there is a Windows binary for 3.0.2 on CRAN and we had no problems 
to build it. So probably the problem is on your end.

Best,
