Bug ID: 111027
Summary: Install error "tmp-header-vars: Permission denied",
build on NFS, improvement possible
Product: gcc
Version: 13.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: etienne_lorrain at yahoo dot fr
Target Milestone: ---
On an ARM32 Linux system just installed, i.e. parallellla board just flashed
with an SDCard image at
https://github.com/parallella/parabuntu/releases/download/parabuntu-2019.1-beta1/parabuntu-2019.1-beta1-headless-z7010.img.gz
, full compilation works fine with:
mkdir vega
# limited SDCard storage so:
sudo mount 192.168.1.84:/home/etienne/parallella /home/parallella/vega
cd vega
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-13.2.0/gcc-13.2.0.tar.xz tar xf
gcc-13.2.0.tar.xz
cd gcc-13.2.0/
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir gcc_build
cd gcc_build
../gcc-13.2.0/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
time make -j 3 # SDCard real 2033m27.533s / NFS real: 2065m36.178s
But install fails with:
$ echo parallella | sudo -S make install

The problem is simple, I am just creating this bug report so that people can
google it.
That is the first time "root" (due to sudo) tries to create a simple file in
the build directory, and such build directory is mounted on a NFS filesystem.
The NFS server may not configure the export with "no_root_squash", so that a
standard user can create such a file "tmp-header-vars", but root cannot!
Maybe a simple test (and a better error message) could be created when root
cannot create a file in the build directory? Obviously root will create files
without problems on /usr/local/{bin,lib,....}.
Feel free to classify as "NOTABUG", just keep it accessible in search engines!
Best Regards, Etienne.
