Wise words. Thanks for your reply.

I left it running all evening; it took somewhere between 2.5 and 5.5 
hours to complete (which it did first time of asking). This was a 
first-time build on a VM - quad 3.1GHz i5-3450 processor, 2Gb memory 
allocated and running Mint (was swapping more than I'd have wished).

Having established it would build and run (with the same video problem, 
incidentally), I finally looked at the sources. Now I begin to see why 
changes take so long.... not a comment in sight for one thing, and a 
spider's web of complexity. Sheesh! Nightmarish.
