Sounds like you're expecting someone to have already made this work.
That's not how the bleeding edge of open source works, *especially*
when combining things from different projects on a new platform!

Someone has to figure all that stuff out bit by bit and fix the things
that don't work.  If you just expect to download a complete, working
environment then you should wait until someone else has done the hard
work.
