[Help] Errors compiling firmware

[AlexanderHott]

I'm trying to compile the firmware on windows but I keep getting errors.

I followed the instructions on how to setup QMK but when I try to compile the firmware I get the error

/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make[1]: *** [.build/obj_redox_rev1_default/obj.txt] Error 2

I've also tried using qmk to compile it.

qmk config user.keyboard=redox/rev1
qmk config user.keymap=default
qmk compile

but I get the error

WARNING "git describe --abbrev=6 --dirty --always --tags" returned error code 127

Hi @AlexanderHOtt, this looks like a QMK problem more than a Redox problem. Take a look here and here and see if it helps you. If this doesn't help you I recommend you to ask to the QMK maintainers.

@mattdibi thank you for the suggestions. I ended up doing a fresh install of QMK MSYS and using the QMK MSYS terminal instead of the MSYS2 MINGW terminal I was using before and that fixed all my problems.
