Errors: buildsystem for the OpenWrt

[littlebilly]

When trying to build a an OpenWRT System as described in the README of
https://github.com/bifferos/openwrt

Ubuntu is running on my computer.

I have a problem with one error!

Checking 'non-root'... failed.

Build dependency: Please do not compile as root.

Prerequisite check failed. Use FORCE=1 to override.


1. make menuconfig is running well after inserting --> FORCE=1 in
Makefile line after TOPDIR:=

I still have this error for
$ make package/symlinks and
$ make

See print below.
Is there also a trick like for "make menuconfig" to put FORCE=1 in a
file?

Thanks in advance
Billy

Did you have run git with sudo ?

Urrm... what's wrong with logging out as root and logging in as a normal user??

When running with sudo I get the error as described in my first
message.

When running without sudo (as a normal user?)

I get

But you have download as root no ?
Relaunch git as normal user and try a make.

[Stuart Hopkins]

Have you tried pulling the tree down again? As you ran it once as root,
it likely created the tmp folder with root permissions, so running it as
a normal user afterwards wouldn't work...

Thats it, relaunching git as normal user did the trick.

Thanks all for your quick response and your help.

also you can do: sudo chown -Rv your-non-root-user  /home/your-user/openwrt

it works for me
