I'm not sure if this belongs properly here - but I wanted to send out a thank you to Ole Morten.
I saw your reply in http://www.funwithelectronics.com/?id=168 and this led to your github. Thanks to your work there, I was able to get the examples working pretty easily on Linux & GCC. I'd have emailed you some more private way but I don't know how else to find you :)
