I find myself attempting to build pyodide from sources on a linux machine. However an attempt to run the make command gives me the following permission denied error.

savakar@Qulal:/media/savakar/PROJECTS/pyodide$ make
./tools/dependency-check.sh
/bin/bash: line 1: ./tools/dependency-check.sh: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:201: check] Error 126

I have installed the build dependencies from the Dockerfile. It appears to be a permissions issue, however I have attempted to give read,write and execution permissions to the directory via the command

chmod 777 -R /media/savakar/PROJECTS/pyodide/
chmod +rwx -R pyodide/
chmod +rwx -R ./tools

amongst other attempts at giving execute permission to the files.

  • It's not the directory, it's the script. That's clear from the error message: `./tools/dependency-check.sh: Permission denied` so the permissions problem is on the file `./tools/dependency-check.sh`. You need to make this file executable: `chmod +x ./tools/dependency-check.sh`. I have no idea why it's not already executable. Probably you should report this to the project. – MadScientist Sep 06 '22 at 18:01
  • Running this command is **very** dangerous: `chmod 777 -R /media/savakar/PROJECTS/pyodide/` – John Hanley Sep 06 '22 at 19:23
  • I recommend using the Docker container to build Pyodide instead of trying to install the tools locally. – John Hanley Sep 06 '22 at 19:24
  • @johnHanley would it be okay if you could explain a little more on how to use Docker to build pyodide, as I find the information on the building from sources a little difficult to follow. – Savakar Rohan Sep 07 '22 at 09:07
  • It would be easier if you explain what problem you have running the Docker container to build Pyodide. – John Hanley Sep 07 '22 at 18:00
