I realize that this is 2 years old, but FWIW:
Step: "make node-packages"
Platform: OS X 10.8.1
Node version: v0.10.7
It tries to use "node-waf", which is apparently deprecated
In fact, it seems that a few of the modules have problems with the versions specified. I may have cause to make a fork and whip up a package.json. Any thoughts on this?
