Getting Permission denied while cross compiling a C++ program

Question

I installed gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2014.04_linux for cross compiling for arm-v8. but I am getting permission denied while building. I used instruction:

gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2014.04_linux/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.8-2014.04_linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ filename.cpp -o executableName

I guess that you don't have write permissions to the folder. — Ulrich Eckhardt, Apr 09 '15 at 05:23
What is the exact error message? Either there was a problem installing the package, or you don't have write permission to the output file. — Barmar, Apr 09 '15 at 05:23

Try with sudo for super user permission.

@Aptrij: Compiling as root is to be avoided; developing as root is to be avoided; actually, doing anything as root is to be avoided when possible. It should not be necessary to use `sudo` to cross-compile code. That it works is good, but it shows that there is a permissions problem of some sort that should be resolved. – Jonathan Leffler Apr 09 '15 at 05:30
Yeah! Exactly. You should either change the permissions of the directory or should use **sudo** everytime. – ngrj Apr 09 '15 at 05:37
given sudo su once. so no need to give sudo everytime. Will check and change permission of the folder. Thanks Jonathan Lefler and ngrjs – Aptrij Apr 09 '15 at 05:41
