nachos on latest linux dist

[allstars]

i am wondering can nachos run on latest linux dist?
(for example , fedora, ubuntu,suse,..etc)

I found still lots of OS courses still use nachos
but i found nachos3.4 needs an older version of linux

for example , some said it's recommended to using g++2.X
,but g++ is 4.X now

i complain so because i try to compile nachos 3.4
now it complains
'gmake' not found
'bool.h' not found
then it complains stdarg.h not found
..etc

from my point of view
these errors occur because i am using newer linux
(actually Ubuntu6.06 Dapper Drake)

i think somebody has also run into issue ,
but it's kind of wierd if i install another older linux on VMware ,
which runs on my linux

or ........everybody moves to nachos 5.0J so they dont have this
issue?

thanks

well
i just try nachos 5.0J
it turned out it needs JDK1.3.1..
JDK1.3.1 is quite old !!, i remember at that time i use jdk 1.3.1 is
7~8 years ago
if i try to use 1.3.1
my other projects might not be able to run on jdk1.3.1....
havent anyone made a newer nachos whenther on C++ or Java ?

it's stranged to me since i still can find lots of OS courses using
nachos today
but these all need you compile nachos on an older machine
