I have my server running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I used it to host my personal stuff, stream media, bots and doing android builds. A month ago I saw some errors while executing the envsetup.sh script that is where it prepares the environment to start the build. Link to the script. This is the output:

miguel@mike-machine:/home/builds/sources/PixysOS$ . build/envsetup.sh 

bash: build/envsetup.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{r''

'ash: build/envsetup.sh: line 1: `function hmm() {

I tried executing it in my other machine (Manjaro 18 KDE) and didn't have problems, thats where I have been building temporarily. I think it is a bash problem, but I sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash, but I still get the same.

This is almost certainly because you saved the script with DOS-style CRLF line endings.

Ex. given a minimal script file

$ cat bad.sh

function hmm() {

cat <<EOF

Run "m help" for help with the build system itself.

EOF

}

that has been saved with DOS line endings, as shown by the file command

$ file bad.sh

bad.sh: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

then

$ . ./bad.sh

bash: ./bad.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{r''

'ash: ./bad.sh: line 1: `function hmm() {

but

$ dos2unix bad.sh

dos2unix: converting file bad.sh to Unix format...

$ . ./bad.sh

$ hmm

Run "m help" for help with the build system itself.

You can find the dos2unix package in the Ubuntu universe repository - otherwise you can use sed to remove the r characters or vi's set ff=unix for example.
