I followed this guide http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/docs/quick-start.md and I got this error when run $ make TARGET=riscos

Did you set the correct HOST when sourcing env.sh?

https://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/docs/quick-start.md#n96

It will report the settings it uses when you source the script.

I used Ubuntu 16

I am using GCCSDK

NetSurf requires more than just a working cross compiler to build. While it is possible to build using a vanilla GCCSDK (assuming that the GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN and GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV variables are exported and contain the appropriate paths), at the very least you will need to ensure that all the third-party libraries that NetSurf depends on (what we term the NetSurf SDK) are compiled and installed in wherever GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV points.

If you have a working GCCSDK cross compiler for RISC OS, then you can build the SDK yourself by cloning the toolchains git repository and then doing something like

https://git.netsurf-browser.org/toolchains.git/tree/README#n29

where you have ensured that GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN and GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV point at the correct place for your environment.

Because the above is both fiddly and time consuming (and because we already do this ourselves automatically as part of NetSurf's Continuous Integration environment), we publish tarballs containing pre-built GCCSDK and NetSurf SDK:

https://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/docs/quick-start.md#n120

Assuming that you are running on an x86_64 platform, then the tarball you want is https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/toolchains/arm-unknown-riscos-49.tar.xz (which is the most current toolchain at the time of writing -- note that the "49" in the filename is the identifier of the CI job that built the toolchain and thus it will change whenever the toolchain is rebuilt). It is intended to be unpacked to / so that the toolchain is installed in /opt/netsurf.

With a properly installed toolchain and SDK, you may then continue with the instructions in the quick start document (remembering to set HOST correctly so that it wants to build for RISC OS). Note that env.sh assumes that cross compilers are either installed in /opt/netsurf or can be found on the PATH so, if you have not installed either our pre-built tarball or installed GCCSDK into /opt/netsurf, then you must ensure that your GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN directory is on the PATH before sourcing env.sh.

I feel like I need to install missed lib but i dont understand exactly which one it is. And do i need to install it to linux platform or compile it with autobuilder for riscos for example?

All NetSurf dependencies need to be built for the platform you intend to run NetSurf on. So, as you want to build NetSurf for RISC OS, you must ensure that you have all the dependencies built for RISC OS.
