Comment:

 Interesting, it looks like it actually did build the xpi file, as you can
 see by the last line:

 Created pkg/https-everywhere-3.2.2~pre.xpi

 It just skipped rule validation and some other stuff.

 To not skip rule validation and other stuff you need to install some
 dependencies. This is true in Linux too. So I'm going to fix this just by
 updating the README to include build instructions for OSX and Linux.

 For OSX I think the easiest thing will be to have people install homebrew
 (http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/) and to install dependencies with that.
