compiling SWUpdate into a toolchain

Question

My apologies for my poor explanation, I am autistic and poor with English. And Grammarly doesn't like code being anywhere near.

So I solved my previous issue. I had an environment variable set wrong and was trying to send a compiler flag onto the linker... Whoops.

So I have gotten swupdate compiled and as an API that I can include in my C++ project, here is a link to the API docs https://sbabic.github.io/swupdate/2018.11/swupdate-ipc.html. I am facing a new problem with a slimmed-down version of this example https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate/blob/master/tools/swupdate-client.c.

The problem I am facing is that swupdate_async_start always returns -1, Looking through the source code I believe the IPC Queue is not opening. It could be caused by misconfiguring Menuconfig when compiling swupdate but nothing I do changes the result... I am looking for advice. Also better English but I don't think you can help me with that.

Old Problem...

I am attempting to compile SWUpdate into my toolchain to use its API within my C++ projects. However, I'm encountering some issues during the build process. When I run make -j16, I get the following output:

jhstrutton@JoshuaLaptop:~/swupdate$ make -j16

I have compiled lua and various other headers into my toolchain with make install, but this seems diffrent from a missing dependency.
