compiling problems on raspbian

[jacmendt]

i try to compile the open-plc-utils package on a Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (armv61) and run into the following error with make install

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/pi/open-plc-utils-ether`
gcc -o efbu efbu.o getoptv.o putoptv.o version.o error.o todigit.o hexencode.o uintspec.o hexdump.o channel.o openchannel.o sendpacket.o readpacket.o closechannel.o basespec.o 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file efbu: Permission denied
Makefile:52: recipe for target `efbu` failed
make[1]: *** [efbu] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pi/open-plc-utils-ether`
Makefile:29: recipe for target `install` failed
make: *** [install] Error 1

I tried to compile the current master branch. Any advice?

Kind regards, JM

Can you provide your full sequence of commands after git clone?

If you don't mind, you could also try my pre-compiled binaries from: https://packagecloud.io/mhei/open-plc-utils

i did a git clone and executed a make install in the root directory of the project as root user like described in the readme.md.

Your pre-compiled binaries worked for me. So thanks for this.

Just for the record: I tried to reproduce your issue on my Raspberry Pi but without luck. Only when I "forget" to use sudo I see the same error message which is expected behaviour. Anyway, the README should be slightly adjusted, so I'm filing a PR for this.

I'm also able to build without issue on raspbian. Please re-open this bug and provide additional details if you are still seeing this issue.
