Hi,

Just to let you know, I get the following error compiling Git in master branch:

$ make prefix=/usr NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease all doc info
...
     GEN git-remote-testgit
     GEN perl/build/man/man3/Git.3pm
Can't write-open perl/build/man/man3/Git.3pm: Permission denied at 
/usr/bin/pod2man line 70.
Makefile:2317: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 
'perl/build/man/man3/Git.3pm'
make: *** [perl/build/man/man3/Git.3pm] Error 13

This didn't happen in v2.16.2. Doing a git-bisect I've got the following culprit:

$ git bisect start HEAD v2.16.2 -- 2530afd3519a34b66e72cc29e7751d650cedc6dd is the first bad commit

make clean fails too:

rm -f -r perl/build/ rm: no se puede borrar 'perl/build/man/man3/Git.3pm': Permiso denegado Makefile:2734: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'clean' make: *** [clean] Error 1

Regards,
Gaston

That's not the culprit, that's the fix :)

Have a look at the permissions of 'perl/build' and its contents, they are likely owned by root for reasons described in 2530afd's log message.

Right you are:

$ ll perl/build/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 ggonzalez ggonzalez 4096 mar  8 12:52 lib drwxr-xr-x 3 root      root      4096 feb 14 13:56 man

The procedure would be just removing perl/build/ manually?
Thanks,
gaston
