How do you think I could fix it ? I downloaded the git version less than an hour ago.

Thank you in advance,

Operation not permitted

Looks like a permission problem, maybe you should compile it in a different partition or directory?

Are you using the sfml-git Package from the AUR?
If not; use it, because it is never a good idea to install something without the package manager.

[Ekinox]

I finally managed to get it work - I was building on a FAT-32 partition shared with windows (although I had its uid and gid set to me), and in my home it worked. Why ? I don't know, but it worked. =)

Cptn_Captain > When I had a look at sfml-git, it had been updated two weeks ago. And now it is one month ago. So, while I prefer using AUR whenever possible, sfml2 being in active development (last commit two days ago), I do prefer being able to update to the last version whenever I want, so I may see if there was not a patch fixing this already sent between nowadays and one month ago.

git-PKGBUILDs (and those of other VCS) always pull the latest Version.
The Version of the PKGBULD only means that the Packager was able to build the package at that date, when go to the src/SFML folder and do a git pull you will see that you are up to date,
If you wan't to update to the latest Version of SFML-git, go to src/SFML (not SFML-build) and do a git pull, rebuild and install the Package. (First delete what you manually installed to /usr/local)
EDIT: If you look at the PKGBUILD-Version: it gets updated automatically when you build the Package

BTW: FAT does not understand Unix-rights-stuff, thats why everything is set to 777.
