I am following carefully the instructions given at: "https://github.com/cozybit/distro11s" for the purpose of building distros11s and installing in laptops using USB Stick. But while building I face issues.

First I "clone/download" the entire source code directory. After extracting I get a folder named "distro11s-master". I enter inside the folder. Then I install packages as per instructions given in website.

Then I do : ./scripts/fetch.sh. This happens successfully and 2 extra folders named "out" and "src" gets created.
Then I build the code by running this command : ./scripts/build.sh. But I face problem. Initially all the building happens fine but fails at the last step. The error is captured in an image. The image is attached. The big red oval shaped circle in the image highlights the error. Please help me in solving this. I need to install distro11s in laptops to form a MESH network. But I am stuck in the build process. Please help.

What exactly are you trying to do? distro11s hasn't been touched for years.
You're probably better off just installing the latest backports release.

Hi Thomas. I am really struggling to build distro11s. I am trying to form a MESH network using Laptops. I want to form the MESH with laptops as the MESH nodes. Thus, I am trying to install distro11s into the laptops. For that purpose I am trying to build distro11s and install it on the laptops using USB Stick. Everything is going fine but the build is failing at the last step. I have captured the screen shot and attached it in the issue above. I have encircled it with the red oval circle. Please help me.
Thanks and Regards,
Sritam Paltasingh.

which wifi cards are you trying to use? you'll need something supported by either ath9k or ath10k.

distro11s does not really contain anything not already upstream. o11s code is basically in backports (https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Documentation/backports/hacking), iw, and wpa_supplicant.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do with your network, but it might be easier (and cheaper!) to use some atheros routers supported by openwrt/lede.
