(See next post)

Have you installed the build prerequisites?

It's V=s to get verbosity in the build (upper case).

eduperez · October 8, 2018, 4:06pm

Are you typing "make[3]" and "make[2]" into the command line? That should be just "make".

Rohitdk1998 · October 8, 2018, 4:40pm

Please solve this

eduperez · October 8, 2018, 10:09pm

I think the error message gives a clear instruction of what to execute now to see the cause of the error: "make -j1 V=s".

Rohitdk1998 · October 9, 2018, 1:16am

I already try this but same error came.

eduperez · October 9, 2018, 5:48am

Are you sure you typed it correctly? Because "V=s" should produce lots of messages that you have not posted here.

Per · October 9, 2018, 7:30am

As jeff pointed out, you used a lower case V.

Rohitdk1998 · October 10, 2018, 5:11am

Yes but same error came.

mbo2o · October 10, 2018, 5:59am

Obviously, but the extra information (due to using V=s) in the lines before the error is what you need to read and troubleshoot

EDIT
using V=s is not going to magically fix the error, it is used to get more verbose output to help with troubleshooting

Which OS are you using? Can you put the whole log as a gist somewhere, or at least include more of the lines above? I think this error is a result of it doing something wrong earlier in the process. Also, please show the exact commands you used to set up the build environment and run make.

As @Per suggested, I also think there is something wrong with your build infrastructure; I would start again from a clean folder, and keep track of all commands you execute.

Seems to happen if compiled in WSL. Had the same problem, but ran it again in a VM and it compiled

I had the same problem using the windows subsystem for linux (WSL).
recipe for target 'world' failed make: *** [world] Error 2
It was caused by the link of windows "environment variables" into the WSL.
create /etc/wsl.conf and add
'[interop]
appendWindowsPath = false'

AND/OR

Open the windows registry and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss\{GUID}\Flags Change the hex value from 7 to 5 (Reference StackOverflow)

I created the page OpenWrt Build System - Windows Subsystem for Linux to collect all findings, to get the OpenWrt build system working within WSL
