failure to compile under Ubuntu (12.04)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

* Follow the compiling instructions (install required tools, libraries) 
(compile-readme.txt)
* do 'cmake -G 'Unix Makefiles' (gives no errors)
* next, doing 'make' gives the following output:

[  9%] Built target nwgeneral

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is a fully compiled and working nwhostapp, but 'make' fails 
with 'undefined reference' errors

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest nowindlibraries source from svn, Ubuntu 12.04.

Please provide any additional information below.

Disgerarding Boost and cmake, but using the following as 'Makefile' in the 
nowindlibraries-read-only directory and using only 'make' will compile 
nwhostapp. Some warnings might be shown, but nwhostapp will work correctly.
nwhostapp must be run as root (sudo)
