Marlin: Issue compiling in Linux

[W8KDB]

I am trying to upload a version of Marlin (it is included with Skynet but is setup for the Anet A8 I have) and they included an Arduino setup for Windows to compile and upload. My laptop is Ubuntu Linux, so the Arduino they included does not work for me. When I try and compile Skynet with Ubuntu Ardunio, I get an error:

exec: "generate_version_header_for_marlin": executable file not found in $PATH

While I know Skynet isn't straight Marlin, the creator mentioned it is mainly Marlin with code setup for the Anet A8 (and possibly other printers, but I am interested in the Anet A8) when I mentioned an issues about the prepare menu options disappearing while it was preheating for PLA. Since the error also reference something with Marlin, I though I would see if there was a known issue about compiling on Linux.

Ubuntu: 16.4.1
Arduino: 1.8.1
Marlin Version: Unknown
Skynet Version: 2.3.1

You can try putting a copy of generate_version_header_for_marlin from the current version of Marlin somewhere in your $PATH, and perhaps it will get past that error.

Where is it located? I did not see a file with that name.

[mtowara]

in your Arduino hardware/anet/avr/ folder rename or delete the platform.local.txt file.
With that modification it builds for me. (Arduino nightly, Ubuntu 16.10, Skynet 2.3.1 from Facebook (sic!))

the generate_version_header_for_marlin is in buildroot/bin but won't help you as the Skynet thing is not correctly derived from a git repository for that to work.

Thank you @mtowara. Once I removed the file it allows me to compile the code. I as thinking it was something in the code, not the hardware part.
