First of all, congratulations to you new-born child!

I have once - not that long ago, actually - myself tried to get it built
cleanly. But I failed and finally gave up for the reasons described in

I wish you better luck and patience. ;)

However, please feel free to open a GIT repo for it and share your work
with us!
