Yea, good idea. I promissed you to be constructive this time. Ok, let's go:

I managed to compile everything on a 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04. The key were
missing ThirdParty packages and flex.
However the ThirdParty packages were not recompiled. I took them
directly from OF 1.5.

Now we're trying to compile everything from scratch including
ThirdParty packages from OF 1.5. under 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04. It's gonna
take some time...

Anyway I squashed everything including the ThirdParty packages from OF
1.5 to my personal git repo. IMO ThirdParty packages belong to the
repo, you cannot compile the OF without them. I intend to publish my
repo on github if you don't give me any better location or other
instructions what to do with it.

I took a look at the README and buildInstructions.txt - there's a lot
of information in these files. I think it makes sence to mark them
clearly as "IN PROGRESS" and correct them later on step by step.
