I have just been installing ddrescue on MacOS on M1 Mac.
The documentation says:
/5. Type 'make install' to install the programs and any data files and//
// documentation.//
//
// Or type 'make install-compress', which additionally compresses the//
// info manual and the man pages after installation.//
// (Installing compressed docs may become the default in the future)./
On recent MacOS, doing this gives:
MacMiniM1 ddrescue-1.27 % make install
if [ ! -d "/usr/local/bin" ] ; then install -d -m 755 "/usr/local/bin" ; fi
install -m 755 ./ddrescue "/usr/local/bin/ddrescue"
install: /usr/local/bin/ddrescue: Permission denied
make: *** [install-bin] Error 71
Apple has become a bit paranoid about access to various directories in the last
few years. sudo overcomes this problem, ie,
sudo make install
There may be other solutions.
Cheers
David
