Hello, please use Ubuntu 16.04 for firmware compilation as recommended in the README file:

## Prerequisites
    Make sure you're running a supported Linux distribution.
    We recommend using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop).
    You might succeed with other distributions.

Also, take a look at this Wiki page for compilation instructions:
