Linux Problem

[godreborn]

I'm not sure what's causing this, but I'd tried chown and chmod with all privileges, but this. splashtool is in the devkitpro directory (/opt/devkitpro/splashtool). I've not had this issue before with this stuff:

godreborn@GODREBORN-LAPTOP:~/fastboot3DS$ make
make[2]: '/home/godreborn/fastboot3DS/arm9/fastboot3DS9.bin' is up to date.
make[2]: '/home/godreborn/fastboot3DS/superhax/superhax.bin' is up to date.

Does it happen when run as root/sudo?

 

[godreborn]

yes, I got it just now. I had to chmod +x each individual file, but I did all in one folder in a lump sum. not sure why this folder was doing that:

Did you do something like 'chmod (permission) (folder)' or 'chmod -R (permission) (folder)'?

 

[godreborn]

I used + on the folder.

 

[godreborn]

for some reason, the command was not being recursive, so all subfolders were unchanged.

That might be why, for recursive chmod you need -R:

so you could use chmod -r +x folder name?

 

[tech3475]

so you could use chmod -r +x folder name?

Be careful as -r removes read permissions, -R is recursive. In theory "chmod -R +x (folder)" should work, but the page also uses the number variation for permissions.

It may be worth reading around, this site seems to give a bit more detail:

how do you get new files to inherit the same permissions? I mean I'm trying to build an sm64-port, but when it extracts the assets, tons of permission denied errors.

how do you get new files to inherit the same permissions? I mean I'm trying to build an sm64-port, but when it extracts the assets, tons of permission denied errors.

1) Where did you get the source code?
2) Was it a zip folder or did you use e.g. 'git clone'
3) Is this within your home folder?

I ask because I just tried to compile a version of SM64 for Linux and it worked just fine following it's instructions and I used my (home)/Downloads folder
https://github.com/sm64-port/sm64-port

the normal version compiles just fine, but there's a problem with this one.

 

[godreborn]

I got it by downgrading openorbis to 0.5, which the dev said he used. tons of permission errors, but they turned out to be faulty ones, so something must've been wrong with the make file or something:

do you know how to use a specific version of llvm or clang if you have several installed? I think my system is using the latest.

Depends on the distro/package manager, I know with apt you can specify a version to install:

I'd try reinstalling it via apt, both 'normal' and dev versions:

What was the exact command you ran?

 

[godreborn]

sudo apt remove package name

now, I get a cpu read error for installing or removing anything.
