The technical problem here is that it's not possible to compile the
backend code from the cloned git repository because the Makefile is
broken (doesn't list all object code files), the linker command is
broken (missing -lm) and Makefile wants to use directories which don't
exist.

This could be remedied by

    - applying patches sent to you
        - fixing the issue in some other way


AFAICT, the state of the git repository has been unchanged in this
respect for months.
