json-c is empty, need to clone into it, but you'll then have further errors.
git clone https://github.com/json-c/json-c.git

@LucasMaliszewski

Warning: re2c 1.0.1 is already installed

Note: In most cases Zephir does not work (still) with re2c 1.x

[Muqsit]

It's due to this commit: zephir-lang/zephir@a0a973c

Add git clone https://github.com/phalcon/json-c just before git submodule update --init in vendor/phalcon/zephir/install-json.
