[Image-SIG] install of PIL under cygwin fails

[Alexey Borzenkov]

Hi Mark,

I've just updated my cygwin and tried building it on WinXP. At first
it failed (with fork issues), but after following steps in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python-2.5.README (that explained how to
rebaseall), it was almost the same as in your case:

$ python setup.py build_ext
running build_ext
building '_imaging' extension
creating build
creating build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5
creating build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/libImaging
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ -I
/usr/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging -I/usr/include
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -c _imaging.c -o bui
ld/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/_imaging.o
Assembler messages:
FATAL: can't create build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/_imaging.o:
Permission denied

Note that the last line happened only once, other times it was just
hanging silently. Looks like cygwin issue.

Best regards,
Alexey.
