I have all the required dependencies installed and I am trying to run this on a debian jessie install. I have found a few posts about this error from 2012 and it was noted to amend the make command with NO_WERROR=1 but this does not change the result. It still fails.

You are most likely missing the liblzma-dev dependency,
it was added in commit 5350b dated 21 Feb 2015, so I wonder which post you have found about that issue in 2012 ?

Can this be done with iPXE? From reading, and more reading, it seems like it would be easy but I am having no luck at all.

You can use ipxe with an Embeded script that for example uses dhcp and then chains to any script you wish.

Hmm using grub to load an iso sounds wrong, especially since you have ipxe.lkrn

Hoping that installing the liblzma dependency gets you at least part of the way.
