chown problem on yocto recipe db_6.0.30

[LPs]

Hi all,

   I downloaded fsl-release-bsp 3.14 patch from repo.

I'm trying to bild core-image-minimal, but the process do_install of db_6..30.bb recipe because of the recipe try to chown directories.

The process stops and gives me hundreds of errors that chown fails to change permissions.

The error, as far as I know, is correct because of bitbake has to be launched as normal user, not as root. Then chown cannot be performed.

Am I missing something???

Hi LPs​,

Could you please change the typo "chwon" to chown in your heading? This will helpful for other users to reach your post while searching in the community.

Cheers,

At the end it was permission on ..../sources/poky/meta/bitbake/bin files and ..../sources/poky/scripts.

I don't know why, but all files was downloaded from repo with r--r--r-- permission.

Thanks for updating on this issue. I’m sure it will help other community users.

I’ve also seen this happened to some other people but I don’t know the root cause. I think they just used chown over the whole BSP directory.

chown -R user.user fsl-release-bsp

Its better to user userid instead of username,

chown -R 1000:1000 /path

I don't know the real cause. I importend sources dir from a pre setup svn repository created on a remote server.

Maybe something that belongs to users from different computers.
