Hi Alois,

I've made a few changes to these:
1. disable building demos as many of them seem to want to execute (do
you have wine installed?)
2. use make options instead of sed replacements
3. disable metis due to licence concerns (can be re-enabled easily)

Can you check if these still work for you?

Thanks,

Tony
