When i run "make -j6 all dist" I get this:
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/proton/mybuild'
../build/makefile_base.mak:15: recipe for target 'nested_make' failed
make: *** [nested_make] Error 2

I'm having the same issue, running make -j6 all dist runs for a couple minues, then ends with the same output saying that nested_make failed. Running make install then fails quickly saying /bin/sh: 1: fontforge: not found.

Hello @jsreid13, assuming you hit the same issue as @TheError404, then this issue was a duplicate of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1944#issuecomment-438716803.

Thank you! Installing fontforge using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fontforge/fontforge
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fontforge python-fontforge 

solved the issue and it now builds using make install, thanks!
