GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 357859
no executable permissions for autogen.sh
Last modified: 2006-11-12 16:06:38 UTC
Please describe the problem: I'm trying to add brasero to jhbuild modulesets. Unfortunately the build process i stopped by the non-executable autogen.sh Steps to reproduce: 1. checkout brasero from cvs.gnome.org 2. try to run ./autogen.sh in brasero root directory Actual results: luca@redrum:~/cvs/gnome2/brasero$ ./autogen.sh bash: ./autogen.sh: Permission denied luca@redrum:~/cvs/gnome2/brasero$ Expected results: Start configure Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: luca@redrum:~/cvs/gnome2/brasero$ ls -la autogen.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 luca luca 131 2006-09-16 10:05 autogen.sh luca@redrum:~/cvs/gnome2/brasero$
Doh! It seems that the autogen.sh don't use the gnome-common macros. so you need to manually run ./configure after ./autogen.sh. This is bad for a gnome module :-( I'll try to provide a new autogen.sh file based on gnome-common.
Created attachment 73449 [details] autogen.sh based on gnome-common macros It was really simple using the one from other modules :-) I can commit this on cvs, if you like it.
Please, do =). Thanks, it would be nice to have a good replacement for my home made autogen.sh.
The new file is on cvs now, I'm not able to add +x permission :-(( I tried to remove and add again too... No useful info on cvs documentantion. Any idea?
Changing permissions in CVS is very difficult. It requires having direct access (i.e., shell) on the CVS server machine and changing the perms of the file in the actual CVS repository.
Olav Vitters changed permissions on CVS. Thanks, Olav. Closing the bug. PS all info at http://live.gnome.org/Infrastructure
