Re: Setting up build environment without root priveleges

I noticed that on my two machines, the groupadd command did not seem to fully take effect until I rebooted, i.e. the group appeared in the /etc/group file, but the command # groups did not list it. I was having some trouble a little later on in the process then when you describe though (when bitbake wanted to download stuff to /usr/share/sources). Hope this helps.

When following the instructions on http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html, how did you get around the following steps without super-user privileges?
$ sudo groupadd oe
$ sudo usermod -a -G oe your_username
$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chgrp oe /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chmod 0775 /usr/share/sources
$ sudo chmod ug+s /usr/share/sources

Thanks,

Subject: Setting up build environment without root priveleges

Hello,
I am attempting to set up the gumstix build environment without root privileges. No matter what I try (modifying .conf files), I always get the same bitbake output, and it comes out very quickly. The following is what happens:
$ bitbake gumstix-basic-image

<home directory>/gumstix/gumstix-oe/bitbake/bin/bitbake: Permission denied.
Since I don't know where or why permission is being denied, I'm having trouble in troubleshooting this problem.
Can anyone offer advice on setting up the build environment without root privileges?
Thanks,
Chrissy
