Previously when I tried to build crochet in an jail I ran into troubles creating md devices. I presume upgrading to these new tools would help that too? > Tim Kientzle <mailto:tim@kientzle.com> > May 1, 2014 at 10:45 AM > On Apr 30, 2014, at 3:56 PM, Torfinn Ingolfsen<torfinn.ingolfsen@getmail.no> wrote: > >> ===> lib/libexpat (cleandir) >> rm -f bsdxml.h bsdxml_external.h libbsdxml.3.gz libbsdxml.3.cat.gz >> rm: bsdxml.h: Permission denied >> rm: bsdxml_external.h: Permission denied >> *** Error code 1 >> >> Stop. >> make[4]: stopped in /usr/src/lib/libexpat >> (I wasn't running crochet as root, and I suspect it is the reason for failure) >> >> Question 1: it look to me like the script is trying to remove stuff (files) from /usr/src.

It should be relatively simple to get Crochet to compile all the pieces without requiring root.
