I was able to get the daemon to compile with some effort, but since the provided makefiles are missing all references to the scrypt-jane hashing functions it's unable to intialize the blockchain because the genesis block hash doesn't match. Maybe we could try every permutation of scrypt configurations, but it seems pointless to continue until the dev provides the actual source used for the qt-binary. It is a bit fishy, but perhaps he didn't finish uploading the changes to github...
