I get this error message when trying do build on OSX El Capitan. Python 2.7 and X-Code Command Line Tools are installed. I also already tried to do it as root without success.

Research direction

Reproduce the application build on OS X El Capitan with Python 2.7 and the Xcode Command Line Tools, using the reported failure while creating the LIFX Menu.app bundle. Investigate why the executable in dist/LIFX Menu.app/Contents/MacOS is rejected with Operation not permitted, and verify that the bundle builds successfully without requiring root.
