Pi 4 Bullseye Desktop x64

often it does not exist so it is not possible to login to a shell as root at all until it is set

'sudo bash' was suggested by someone else - that should work I guess.

As explained before - the installation tool will not allow a install unless logged in as root via su - sudo or sudo -s does not work.

All fixed now that I have set the root password.

Your example is missing a backslash at the end of the second line, after 'exit 3;'.

After adding it, the example worked with straight sudo and changing to root with 'sudo bash'. It works on Raspbian and Raspi OS.

You are doing ther change to superuser too complicated. The installation should work with single 'sudo make install'.

All of my root ownership compiled binaries are installed with that.
