At first, when i make menuconfig, it gave me this error:
| Code: | make menuconfig
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5024’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5026’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5028’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5030’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5032’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5034’: Permission denied

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5044’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5046’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.tmp_5048’: Permission denied
/bin/sh: line 1: scripts/kconfig/.mconf-cfg.tmp: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:214: scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:603: menuconfig] Error 2 |
then i changed the ownership of /usr/src/linux to user:
| Code: | | chown george:george /usr/src/linux |
but i still get an error when doing menuconfig:
| Code: | george@satellite /usr/src/linux $ make menuconfig
/bin/sh: line 1: scripts/kconfig/.mconf-cfg.tmp: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:214: scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:603: menuconfig] Error 2
george@satellite /usr/src/linux $ |
i tried to do chmod 777 /usr/src/linux but it doesnt work. Help? |

You need to use -R with chown as children do not automatically inherit permissions.

George528,
You can also use -O option so the kernel sources stay read only to users and -O points to some user rw space.
The config file and build products go there.
