Building Lakka with Docker

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hello everyone. Following my request on adding GPIo to lakka, I found a pretty easy way to do this. Now to avoid running day-long builds from a VM I’d like to use Docker in Windows. Unfortunately after setting it all up nicely, I’m granted with that error :

The weirdest part is if I manually try to rename the file from Docker, everything goes well, no permission denied. I’ve tried running my prompt in administrator and it didn’t help. I’m guessing there’s some shenanigans with permissions on the Docker host, but without experience in Docker, I have no idea what it could be. I even tried ‘chown’-ing all files to the ubuntu user, and ‘chmod 777’ on all files, which was confirmed to work with ‘ls -l’ but that didn’t work (which makes sense since the renamed file is created by the build process).

Thanks in advance ! :slight_smile:
