Firstly a thanks to Sean for giving you some pointers to try and get you going.

The git clone command will give you the latest code which should compile for you
if your run the build.sh script.

Secondly an apology from me as I have been remiss in getting an updated release sorted
out due to lack of time.

I do have some spare time coming up, so I will be making a new release shortly which
should sort out the import issues finally.

Best regards
