Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the released versions will all work
together, theres quite a few versioning problems with this many
components, sorry.  Heres what should work together:

  oskit - moab

  regular jvm - jnodeos - ants

Anyways, we'd be interested to here what problems you had while compiling
so we can get them fixed for others.

This is kinda hard because configuration stuff gets bound up in the binary
file that gets booted on a bare machine and theres probably other things
that are hard without having the source available.  But, if you really
want to try it we'll need information about your hardware, down to the
ethernet card addresses, and exactly what you want to do.
