umask problem when "make menuconfig" under osx lion

[e-r-a-n]

I have used freetz before, with a pc using vmware
today im using osx and wish to do it directly, but having issues.
i did svn co http://svn.freetz.org/trunk freetz-trunk, and tried make menuconfig and got:
Makefile:100: *** Please set umask to 0022 and then unpack/checkout again. Stop.

I wish to know if there's a way to solve it, in order to avoid another virtual machine running..
thanks!

yes, but im not sure how to do it under osx.
i tried to google a bit, but nothing came up that worked.
its actually setting the entire files downloaded to 755, correct?
because i tried chmod 755 */*, to apply it on the entire folder but it didnt work

If you don't know it why do you use OSX? Maybe you should edit the file '/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist', with the right editor.

I suspect you also get the following error message

stat: illegal option -- c
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]

It is much easier to use Freetz Linux in VirtualBox.

It is possible to build a freetz image under OSX Lion, but you have to take care of some things.

• GNU utilities and not BSD utilities (gentoo prefix, homebrew, macports)
• case sensitive file system
• build your own cross compiler
• you don't have a proc file system by default
• your bash version could be too old, so you have to patch some scripts (#/bin/bash -> #!/usr/bin/env bash)
• ...

You have to apply some patches to compile the host utilities.

Therefore I recommend you to use a virtual machine.

I will download VBox right away then..
Do i have to use the freetz-linux in the wiki, or can i use any other ubuntu/whatever? just because of the different keyboard layout..

 

[roadman17]

It is simpler to use freetz-linux and change the keyboard layout. If you use another linux you have to take care of the build requirements.

i just thought to change becuase now when using a mac, i have a tiny ssd and i wanted to save some space of VM's
