Looks like you mounted this volume with noexec set, or are on Windows
where the exec flag got lost?

Yes, you might be right.

I have no idea to get it work...

Any idea to solve this issue?

Thanks

It looks like you have the source code stored on a USB flash drive
(or similar device)? What file system does it have? If it's FAT, look
into how the file permissions are exposed to Linux and if it's possible
to change. Or, the drive's mounted with the noexec option -- check the
output of "mount" and look for the line with /media/Stuff. I'd actually
start there.

The external drive is NTFS file system.

The default permission, it is already have exec option.

/dev/sda5 on /media/Stuff type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)

I have try this command but it does not work

 mount /dev/sda5 -o remount exec

Thanks,

Building Android with everything stored in a FUSE file system might be
painful and you're probably on unchartered territory. Are you sure you
don't have a few tens of GBs on a plain old Linux partition?

Okay, so 'noexec' doesn't seem to be the problem, unless this driver
explicitly requires 'exec' to be set. So what are the permissions of
the file Repo complains about? Can you chmod the files to correct them?

There seems to be a bunch of articles written about this. I suggest you
dig up a few and see if they help. This isn't really a Repo question
anymore.

That command attempts to mount /dev/sda5 in the 'exec' directory.
Having a comma instead of a space between remount and exec should
solve that problem.
