Yes, always use the SF version.  The polimage repository
is obsolete.

The VM does not have the necessary development tools.  It was
trimmed down heavily to keep it small.  It has only the run-time
support for the tools.

I have added the target 'homeinstall' which should compile
and install the tools in the user's home directory.

However, it is much easier to just install the RPMs on CentOS.
This greatly simplifies also the updates.

See the INSTALL file I have just uploaded and let me know if
you have problems.
