install problem

[rhaynes74]

Hi folks, first time user here, I am having problems with the install on the mac os, using zsh.

smatm0013:taskopen:% sudo make PREFIX=/usr <master ✗> gzip -c doc/man/taskopen.1 > doc/man/taskopen.1.gz gzip -c doc/man/taskopenrc.5 > doc/man/taskopenrc.5.gz sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=/usr/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl sed -i'.bak' s',/usr/bin/perl,/usr/bin/perl,' taskopen.pl

smatm0013:taskopen:% sudo make PREFIX=/usr install <master ✗> gzip -c doc/man/taskopen.1 > doc/man/taskopen.1.gz gzip -c doc/man/taskopenrc.5 > doc/man/taskopenrc.5.gz sed s',#PATH_EXT=.*,&\nPATH_EXT=/usr/share/taskopen/scripts,' taskopen > taskopen.pl sed -i'.bak' s',/usr/bin/perl,/usr/bin/perl,' taskopen.pl mkdir -p //usr/bin install -m 0755 taskopen.pl //usr/bin/taskopen install: //usr/bin/taskopen: Operation not permitted make: *** [install] Error 71

Those // in front of usr/bin doesn't look right to me, I will admit that the Makefile knowledge is pretty rusty these days.

@rhaynes74 typically the // does not cause any issues but this may be different on mac os. Could you please try the following and report back with the results:

sudo ls /usr/bin/taskopen
sudo touch //usr/bin/taskopen
sudo ls //usr/bin/taskopen
sudo ls /usr/bin/taskopen

Thanks for the response.  Here is the output.

sudo ls /usr/bin/taskopen Password: ls: /usr/bin/taskopen: No such file or directory

sudo touch //usr/bin/taskopen <master ✗>

touch: //usr/bin/taskopen: Operation not permitted

sudo ls //usr/bin/taskopen ls: //usr/bin/taskopen: No such file or directory

@rhaynes74 does it make a difference if you do

sudo touch /usr/bin/taskopen

?

Hi - thanks for the suggestion, but:

sudo touch /usr/bin/taskopen <master ✗> touch: /usr/bin/taskopen: Operation not permitted

Apparently /usr/bin is protected by Apple's System Integrity Protection so that even root cannot write to this directoy. I'd recommend using a different PREFIX (e.g. /usr/local) to install taskopen into /usr/local/bin but this depends on your $PATH. Can you please check whether /usr/local/bin/ is in your $PATH variable (if not add it) and try installing taskopen with PREFIX=/usr/local?

For later reference: This is related to #76

Fantastic, this worked, many thanks for your efforts.  (I did use a stackoverflow solution to install the required JSON).
