How do I generate `.generated.h` files in unreal manually on linux? - linux

Question

When I try to open the project, it says "The following modules are missing or built with a different editor version: <project name> Would you like to rebuild them now? If I click yes it says "<project name> could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually." and quits. This is a new project, has not yet been opened due to this error. (I have tried several times with different templates)
So after researching I tried building manually with GenerateProjectFiles.sh -cmakefile -game -project <project file>, then cmake, then make. At first this didn't work because it was using g++ instead of clang, so I changed it to clang, changed the standard to c++14, and now it almost compiles, but it complains that the .generated.h files do not exist. How do I generate them considering I can't open the editor, don't have Visual Studio, and am working on Linux? I also can't change the install files because I don't have permission (work computer).
GenerateProjectFiles.sh output:
