Hi,

I'm trying to follow https://tails.boum.org/contribute/build/
but I haven't managed to get far as `make rake` fails quickly.

I'm not from a rake background so it would take me aaages to figure this one out on my own and I hope you can help.

Full output:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
