Subject: [edk2-devel] EDK2 Linux Build, Make Errors on Basetools, Ubuntu under WSL

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu (16.04 x86)  under WSL.

Error on "make -C BaseTools" found in common instructions document for linux, https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Common-instructions

Using BASH shell.

I have done sudo updates and upgrade. Followed instructions and everything worked till errors below occurred.

Any suggestions or help?

Thanks.
