Error when building from source #631
Description
I just cloned this repository and when I went to build it using the instructions from the readme, the following error was produced:
~/ESP8266_2/Arduino/build$ ant dist

I tried the ant dist command with version numbers 1.6.5 and 1.6.4 and got the same result.
There is probably a simple solution, but I am missing it.
Thanks,
