When building a pebble app I'm getting a error I can't understand

I am trying to build my pebble app from the SDK for the mac and it keeps giving me the error below. The code itself complies in cloud pebble but for some reason gives me this error that I can't understand.

Setting top to                           :

Simple-for-Pebble uses custom fonts, so you'll need to install Freetype in order for the Pebble SDK to be able to process the TTF files.

There are instructions on how to do this on the Pebble Developer website (https://developer.getpebble.com/sdk/install/mac/#pebble-sdk-fonts-and-freetype), but the quickest way to install it is using Homebrew.

brew install freetype
