Compile error "cp: cannot create regular file '/tftpboot': Permission denied" #3

Closed pedronf65 closed 7 years ago

pedronf65 commented 8 years ago

I'm having this compile error after doing make: cp: cannot create regular file '/tftpboot': Permission denied I'm compiling this in arch linux, in Makefile: PLATFORM = PC I'm compiling with a normal user, of course. It looks like make is copying a file into /tftpboot folder, is it normal? Looking inside Makefile I see it in lots of places... I don't have this folder in my file system. So, two questions:

  1. why make is copying files? They should be copied only with make install
  2. why is it using this folder named /tftpboot ?

This is now old, and I can't reproduce due to no longer having the wireless card in question. Also, this solution was made for Ubuntu, so YMMV on other distributions.
