When I compile a simple test sketch like BLINK I got this error message:

Error compiling for board Generic ESP8266 Module.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
I tried different board settings and I did just compiling, no flashing.
My OS is Linux Mint.
Please advise...
