It might depend on what your intended use is.  It's not ready for
production, I would say, but if you just want to get it built and then
do some testing, then that could be OK, at your risk though.

I had some trouble getting it built, with various distros, as their
revisions caused problems, but Kubuntu 16.10 was better.  I just had to
find a few dependency files to build.
