Make: *** [toplevel.mk:227: world] Error 2 (WSL)

Can somebody help me with this problem?

I am trying to compile openwrt v18.07.4 on Debian in WSL with additional Packages.
I updated all Debian Packages via APT and followed this guide: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/quickstart-build-images

However i always get a toplevel.mk error at Line 227:

make[5]: *** [Makefile:293: /home/mcotting/programming/openwrt/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a15+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/linux-ipq806x_generic/compex_wpq864-fit-uImage.itb] Error 1

Interestingly, the Image Files already exist, however i dont know if they are actually complete/ready for usage.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The interesting part should be just above the error messages you've posted.

You may also want to run make -j1 V=s to get the full error message, in case you’re running it with multiple cores.

I did a make clean; make -j1 V=s and looked at the Logs again, however i could not really find anything weird. As pastebin is not working i am posting the Logs here:

The actual error should still be above these, maybe previous 20-30 lines?

Okay, I think its easier to just share the whole Log File:

I tried compiling the Image agian using a Debian VM, same Error. It seems to be my make config tha is causing the Issue: make.config

My guess is that it is about that "(x86)" in your directory names inclucded in PATH. I think that "(" and ")" might need to get escaped. That current unescaped "(" gets understood as a token starting a subshell block or something.

Okay, i will look at this after work.
My compile was successful, now that i removed the Image Builder in the Make Config.
I will try to compile it with all the Windows Paths removed, although i doubt that this is the Error, because the compile on a full Debian 10 VM also failed with similar Error(s).
EDIT: I was wrong, see post below.

So as it turns out, it is the PATH imported from Windows that can cause Problems. I had to disable PATH Syncing with my host System and create a new WSL instance. After that, everyting worked flawlessly. Thanks!
