Permission issues in Linux during compilation of source code

I am trying to do a compilation by placing the source directory in a partition which is external to my ubuntu partition. When I kick off the compilation, I get permission denied issues as shown. Can someone please let me know how I can resolve this?

root@machine1-desktop:/media/E8202E47202E1CD6/IceCreamSandwich#    '/home/machine1/bin/build.sh' 
 Using: androidu
/home/machine1/bin/DL10_build.sh: line 34: ./customize.sh: Permission denied
/home/machine1/bin/DL10_build.sh: line 35: [: ==: unary operator expected
/home/machine1/bin/DL10_build.sh: line 38: ./miyabuild.sh: Permission denied
/home/machine1/bin/DL10_build.sh: line 40: ./customize.sh: Permission denied

When you say it's on an external partition, what type of file system is it? (What does running 'mount' say about it?) If it's a FAT or FAT32 partition, they don't support the executable permission for files, so chmod +x won't work on them. You'll need to tell the filesystem to pretend files are executable, e.g.:

mount -t vfat -o umask=077 [device] [location]
