Faild to build on Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10

[cspoonerKRHS]

I'm getting a build failure in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. Here is the error message:

I've run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade; and all of the recommended packages installed without issue.

On real unix, paths never contain funny characters like " " or "(". They may - but only for people who know how to deal with that. Consequently, you either don't have funny paths in your PATH, or know how to deal with that, choose solution which is easier for you (most people choose 1st one).

Thanks for catching that...I just moved from Linux to windows 10 (new computer) and missed that.

Edit: It seems that this is a known problem (or in true MS fashion...feature). Windows subsystem imports the windows path environment variable; funny characters and all. to fix this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss]
"AppendNtPath"=dword:00000000

I just moved from Linux to windows 10

Try this in your script: ... it helped me... eventhough I had "funy spaces" in the windows path

..
export PATH=/home/fp/github/esp-open-sdk/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin:"$PATH"
..

the only change is to put variable $PATH into "$PATH"..
