Hi,
There is probably a straightforward answer to this question. I am
trying to run a c program under cygwin that I have compiled using gcc
in cygwin. The program is trying to open /dev/mem in read/write mode.
However I always get permission denied. The code looks like:
int fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR);
if(fd < 0) {
perror("Unable to open /dev/mem");
exit(2);
}
The output I get from this is:
Unable to open /dev/mem: Permission denied
I have set up a root user (in /etc/passwd) and am running the program
as root but this doesn't solve the problem. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jamie.
