I tried compiling them a couple of weeks ago, but only with minor
success. I'm currently getting the master branches to give it another
try.

There are some packages for Maemo5 in extras-devel, however, they have
not been updated for a while. Last update was in march.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/dui-demos-widgetsgallery/
http://maemo.org/packages/view/libdui0/

If someone knows of more recent builds, please let me know.

Thanks!
