	Re: Setting up build environment without root priveleges by Matt Robbins-3 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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).

	Re: Setting up build environment without root priveleges by David Novick :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Oops, my bad, I though you where having problems using bitbake as a user... Not that I know much about the process, but I'm guessing you'll need root to at least do those commands. I'm guessing that it's trying to do source code caching, and it can't find/write to /usr/share/sources. Can you ask an admin to run those commands? If not, I'm guessing that you're going to have to find a way to disable the caching...??? ----- Original Message ---- > From: Chrissy Murray <gossamurr22@...> > To: gumstix-users@... > Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 2:13:01 PM > Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] Setting up build environment without root priveleges > > 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, > Chrissy > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Chrissy Murray > To: gumstix-users@... > Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 11:48:44 AM > Subject: Setting up build environment without root priveleges > > Hello, > I am attempting to set up the gumstix build environment without root > privileges.
