Log

The log shows for some unknow reasons quotes are added.

"PATH=/home/user/

resulting in a failed build:

*********** FAILED COMMAND ***********
ninja ${NINJA_OPTS} ${PKG_MAKE_OPTS_TARGET}
**************************************
*********** FAILED COMMAND ***********
${SCRIPTS}/build "${1}" "${PARENT_PKG}"
**************************************

Additional Information

Checking the PATH environment variable reveals:

echo $PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/wsl/lib:/mnt/c/Windows/system32:/mnt/c/Windows:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/:/mnt/c/Users/User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/snap/bin

Correcting the PATH variable:

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/wsl/lib

results in a successful build.
