I am having issues installing openOCD. I followed this tutorial and everything works perfectly until I try to make the file. I am getting these warnings and errors:

I have tried to Google these errors, but nothing worked. I also tried to make a clean install and reinstalling some packages. But I still get the same errors.

Could you help me correct these errors or guide me to the right path?

  • You may try to compile on only one CPU, as multi-core compiling isn't reliable. Use make instead of make -j4. I would also try to run sudo make, wich may be a bad practice, but can quicly solve the permission issues.

  • Ignore that; this has nothing to do with -j4, which is totally fine and reliable. This is obviously about permissions issues. Using sudo will get around that, but it seems a little strange there's a need for that if you are running this as pi from /home/pi or a subdirectory .

  • Multi-core compilation errors may occurs (race condition) but indeed, the problem seems to come from wrong permissions.

  • @goldilocks thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, I have tried make, sudo make, and sudo make j4; but still get the same error. And yes, I am running this as pi. I also tried reflashing the OS and reinstalling openOCD, but it did not work. Any other ideas?

  • What are the permissions for .libs

I was able to resolve my problem following the installation steps mentioned in this tutorial.

From the tutorial, I did the following (after reflashing Raspian to my SD):

$ sudo apt-get build-dep openocd
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openocd/code openocd
$ cd openocd
$ ./bootstrap 
$ ./configure --enable-bcm2835gpio 
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install

I do not know how or why this worked for me, but it did. I now have openOCD working in my Pi.
