Scott from Developer Relations at Thalmic here. I'm sorry to hear that you're running into problems. We'll be opening up a lot of the resources needed to port to Linux and other platforms soon, but it is more of a time issue than anything else.
In the interim, feel free to reach out to me on twitter (@smngreenberg) if you have any questions. I'll mostly be able to help with our supported platforms (Win, Mac, Android, iOS), but I'll do my best if it's something other than those four.
