VLC IOS source code version 2.7.8 compilation error on MAC OS sierra 10.12.5 Xcode 8.3.2

[hassaan]

I am trying to compile VLC source code 2.7.8 on macOS sierra 10.12.5, I have xcode version 8.3.2
I used sh compileVLCforiOS.sh command and it took almost 1 and half hour on compilation process and then I got the following error. Why I am getting this error and what should I do to get rid of this error ? Thanks in advance

look in the logs, but it seems your environment is incorrectly setup.
