Error compiling for sparkfun pro micro

[COZMIKDX]

I am on Ubuntu 18.04 and using Arduino 1.8.3 since the activate.py script seems to want this version.
I am trying to compile the example program. I have run activate.py and it's output was all successes.

Here is the error message:

This seems to be related to #14, except that person is using an Arduino Leonardo. I'm starting to suspect the activate.py script doesn't hide some file properly.

I tried this on my machine with 1.8.12 using the Sparkfun Board Manager URL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkfun/Arduino_Boards/master/IDE_Board_Manager/package_sparkfun_index.json and selecting "Sparkfun Pro Micro" as the board, and it compiled succesfully.

Could you run deactivate.py and activate.py again and post the output of activate.py here?

Ah, I just noticed the shebang is missing in deactivate.py so because you're on linux, rather run python3 deactivate.py

Short tip for formatting: You can wrap all the output like so:

```
output
```

This way, it will be displayed correctly.

But this is a very strange issue.

If deactivate.py is successful, that means USBCore.cpp was fully hidden, so __vector_10 and __vector_11 can't be defined there, but still your build output shows that it tries to create USBCore.cpp.o.

Could you run the activate.py script again and check what the file /home/cosmictacocat/Programs/arduino-1.8.3/hardware/arduino/avr/cores/arduino/USBCore.cpp contains? It should have these lines at the beginning:

//=====================================
//== This section is hidden by LUFA! ==
//=====================================
#if 0

If that is indeed the case, try to compile it again and see if you have the same error.

If you still get that error, run the Arduino IDE from the command line instead of from the launcher, and check whether the correct version of the Arduino IDE is running before compiling.

I got the same error
