[Errno 13] Permission denied: when compiling copter [closed]

ArduCopter Copter 3.6
1

Hi there,
I am working on setting up a new flight mode for my quad to perform a specific function. I have followed the instructions to do so here: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/apmcopter-adding-a-new-flight-mode.html
Im using windows 10, running ubuntu 18.04 lts terminal, building with waf.
I configure the board using ./waf configure --board Pixhawk4 (since im using pixhawk4)
and proceed to compile the build ./waf copter

This is the error I am currently getting:

Build failed

Appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

Well, that’s weird. What are the permission on that file - and owner?

ls -l /home/kambyan-rnd/ardupilot/ArduCopter/Parameters.cpp

Also, what does “git status” say?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response.

git status :
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with ‘origin/master’.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use “git add …” to update what will be committed)
(use “git checkout – …” to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   ArduCopter/Copter.h
    modified:   ArduCopter/Parameters.cpp
    modified:   ArduCopter/mode.cpp
    modified:   ArduCopter/mode.h

Untracked files:
(use “git add …” to include in what will be committed)

    ArduCopter/mode_moon.cpp

no changes added to commit (use “git add” and/or “git commit -a”)

So correct me if I’m wrong, I would need to commit my mods & new flight mode to the origin/master in order to get them active?
Is there a way to do this locally without committing them?
Would I need to fork the repo and work from there?
Apologies for the tutor session, still new to all this, learning it as I go.

I think I found what I was looking for.
