There was one person that had the same issue, their solution was to set it up in a regular Linux installation then copy over all the files what happens if you uninstall the SDK and install it again?
I ran into the same problem and it turned out to be missing dependencies for me.
If the make command is missing on the system, the build will fail with exactly this error. After installing the basic development tools / C(++) SDK on my distro, I am now able to build my watchface.
On openSUSE that was sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis
If you’re on Debian or Ubuntu, the equivalent would be sudo apt install build-essential
