slice2cpp - DLL usage

Hello,

I am having some problems with slice2cpp when running from a ClearCase dynamic view.

ClearCase handles permissions it's own way when running from a dynamic view.

The initial problem - now fixed - was that slice2cpp would not run at all giving "Access is denied" errors. That was fixed by modifying the permissions on slice2cpp.exe, slice21.dll, iceutil21.dll to include execute for everyone.

This now works and produces output when not given an slice file to process.

However if I now pass the slice file as a command line parameter I am getting the "Access is denied" error again.

Question: does slice2cpp load extra DLL's dynamically - as this may be causing it. :confused:

Note: we are looking to move to version 3 real soon now.

    Hi Tim,

    No, slice2cpp.exe doesn't load any extra DLLs dynamically. It does load however icecpp.exe to preprocess the Slice files. Perhaps the permissions for icecpp.exe aren't correct as well?

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
  • That seemed to fix it.

    Thanks.
