I honestly don't think I've ever seen that before. Did you get any other strange error during the build process? Do you see any changes if you run git diff?

Also, can you paste the output from running uname -a on your system? I just want to make sure this isn't related to some unusual system configuration I haven't seen before.

Thank you.I have solved it.I ran git diff and found the reason.
I copied the file from windows OS and formats have problems.

Then I run this
find /path/to/folder -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix

Is 2252 a PID?
I had run the millon test example and wanted to read your source code about execYaoProtocol（）function .
But it seemed a little hard for me.haha.
It's not as easy as it looks in the book. It's hard to find the steps to convert to the circuit, encrypt, send my x, send y via ot protocol and decrypt etc
