Hi,

The simple fix is to delete this one "-f" in the referenced "if [ -f -f include/generated/compile.h ]; then \ <<<<==== this line is the error" line. So the line reads:
if [ -f include/generated/compile.h ]; then \

I also can confirm that this bug doesn't exist in the Desktop version. Strange. I run into it on Ubuntu Server amd64.

For me it exists in the Desktop version too:

Manoj, I see you're the mantainer of this package, could you please fix it? Thanks.
