Build failing on main PC but not on laptop

I’ve been trying to use VSCode to build marlin for my skr 1.3 board that has a lpc1768. Building on my PC does not work and I get the following:

AssertionError: :

^Might have butchered that because vscode outputted it in a tiny column (Mod edit: Added triple backtick ``` code formatting markup before and after output)

I have everything on same versions between computers and just can’t seem to get it to build, I’ve spent the last 3 or 4 days trying different things I’ve seen online and multiple reinstalls and nothing has worked. I have no idea what I’m doing really and would appreciate if someone was able to help.

It seems the preprocessor which converts your .ino file into a .cpp file has crashed.

What is the contents of your sketch and the platformio.ini?

You could also attempt to port the code to regular C++, as seen in the FAQ, then this step shouldn’t fail.

Uhh well I don’t really know the best way of doing that, it’s a prewritten firmware for 3D printers that’s a folder of stuff. So I also don’t know how I’d port it either. Am I able to attach a zip file here or something? The platformio.ini is also like 600 lines long so I’m not sure that’d be good to just paste here?
