Error when trying to build image for VU+ Solo2 using OpenVuPlus SDK on Linux Mint 17

I have downloaded the SDK for OpenVUPlus from git using the command:
git clone git://code.vuplus.com/git/openvuplus.git.

But when I try to issue the command 'make image MACHINE=vusolo2' I get a lot of different errors. I'm running a system with Intel Dual Core CPU and 8 GB RAM with plenty of harddisk space using Linux Mint 17 (the same as Ubuntu 14.04).

I really need the get this environment up and running so any advice on how to achieve this would be very helpful.

Error #1:
ERROR: Function failed: sysroot_stage_all (see /media/Data1/openvuplus/build/vusolo2/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/quilt-native/quilt-native-0.51-r1/temp/log.do_populate_sysroot.8672 for further information)
| tar: --same-order option cannot be used with -c

Solution: After googling around I found that I had to do one of the following:
1) Downgrade tar from version 1.27.1 to 1.25.
2) Find files with lines containing 'tar -cf' and replace the part ' -ps ' with only '-p'.
I choose alternative 2 and did it manually..


Error #2:
cms.pod around line 457: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 461: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 465: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 470: Expected text after =item, not a number
cms.pod around line 474: Expected text after =item, not a number

Solution:
'=item x' was changed to '=item C<x>' where x is a digit between 0 and 6.

Error no#3:
genpkey.pod around line 117: You forgot a '=back' before '=head1'
| POD document had syntax errors at /usr/bin/pod2man line 71.
| make: *** [install_docs] Error 255

Solution:
Tried to put '=back' before 'head1' in the file at line 117.

Error #no 4:
genpkey.pod around line 3: =back without =over
| genpkey.pod around line 119: You forgot a '=back' before '=head1'

Solution:
Nothing. I could try to learn POD, but that would be to time-consuming...

While googling around I found that I could disable the generation of PODs (Plain Old Documentation) by the command ' make install_sw' but I don't know which file in the SDK to edit..

Anyone ?

I tried to run Ubuntu 12.04 in Oracle VM Virtualbox 4.3.26 with the following defined equipment:

- Dual-core CPU
- 4 GB RAM (My host system (Linux Mint 17) has a total of 8 GB RAM).
- 100 GB HDD (3 TB total in host system).

The setup ran for many hours during the night, and when I tried to access it the next morning I was not able to log in to the system at all...
Not matter what I did I was not able to access the system.

Well, I'll try another run with the same setup.
This time I will only run it when I can watch over it, and pause it when I have to leave it... :)

BTW: Are there other prerequisites I have to consider before trying to set it up on Ubuntu 12.04 ?

After installing Ubuntu 12.04 you'll have to manually update/install the following packages from the Ubuntu repository using "apt-get install <package>":
- subversion
- texinfo
- g++
- diffstat
- texi2html
- gawk
- chrpath
- sshpass
