ld.exe: cannot find src: Permission denied-CodePudding

Basically im trying to build a game engine with OpenGl and SDL. Im using a makefile to compile it but I get an error. The error started appearing after I reorganized my folder structure and I included the src folder to the include path so i can access them with the absolute path. For example Renderer/Camera.h instead of ../Renderer/Camera.h.

When I try to compile my project I get this error:

C:/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find src: Permission denied
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:57: build] Error 1

This is my makefile

BIN     := bin
SRC     := src
INCLUDE := -Isrc -Iinclude
LIB     := lib

   SOURCES := $(wildcard $(SRC)/***/*.cpp) $(wildcard $(INCLUDE)/***/*.cpp)  $(wildcard $(SRC))

This is my project folder structure

CodePudding user response：

This is not valid:

SOURCES := $(wildcard $(SRC)/***/*.cpp) $(wildcard $(INCLUDE)/***/*.cpp)  $(wildcard $(SRC))

I don't know where you got that wildcard syntax from but it doesn't do what you think it does. *** is identical to * in standard glob syntax which is what GNU make uses. Also do you really expect to find .cpp files in your $(INCLUDE) directory? That would be very strange.

The problem, as ssbssa points to, is that $(wildcard $(SRC)) will expand to $(wildcard src) which is just src, so you're trying to add a directory to your link line which is illegal and the linker complains.
