Hi,

Do you have an idea?
thanks

These error messages suggest one of two potential mistakes:

  • trying to work on a checkout you previously cloned or have built as root (so wrong file access permissions, preventing the new build to work on it)
  • trying to build on a non-POSIX (non-linux) filesystem like vfat or NTFS, the build process requires POSIX like behaviour (case sensitive, locking, etc.)

I use the same folder (openwrt ) to make my builds since 2 years, so I just try to update it from it again, the only thing I changed is ubuntu to linux mint, but my drive for that is intact, I load linux mint on another drive.

In that case I'd suggest to make a fresh git clone, if only for a quit test.

Changing distributions (respectively all kinds of re-installing) can (will) change UIDs/ GIDs used by the OS, but the on-disk UIDs/ GIDs for existing partitions will need manual fixing. This results in the same kind of behaviour.
