Yes please!

Not sure it would address some of the issues I had with a Louis Swart LCD and 
perl modules that are now in git but much, much better than the current 
raspbian/debian Stable version.

Re: [Owfs-developers] owfs is DISABLED

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Mick no you are not.

The rules for building OWFS on a Debian based variety of Linux have
never really changed since before the release of the first Raspberry
Pi device.

However we need to change the rules appropriately for the Raspberry Pi.

And we need to get things updated on the website, as Slackware 10.2 is
quite old, I've gotten the proper releases to build on 11.0 and even
the 64 bit 14 series ones.

Re: [Owfs-developers] owfs is DISABLED

[Don Veino]

You can configure and make from any directory. Just use a subdirectory (for
clean up later) under your home directory on the pi to copy over the files
to. It will place the compiled binaries where they need to go through the
process.

Re: [Owfs-developers] owfs is DISABLED

[Mick Sulley]

I am sure my problems here are due to my lack of understanding of the 
whole build process.

This is a clean install of a RasPi, so no sudo config has occurred.  My 
normal method of install was -

download the file from SourceForge to my desktop.

Copy it to the RasPi and move it to /usr/local/src/

sudo tar zxpf owfs-version

cd owfs-version

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

My user on the Pi is 'control'.

I have added control to the staff group, which is the group for all the 
/usr/local/ directories and can now configure and make, however I still 
get an error with make install as I do not have permission for the /opt/ 
directory, which has owner and group = root.

Is there a way around this or do I still have to sudo make install?

That's because you ran the ./configure as root once. These files had
been created by ./configure as root, so only root can write them on a retry.

you just need to add write permission for your user or group to that 
directory to have the log written successfully,


and NO, NEVER build as superuser, like Jan already emphasized!
