This is not an official communication channel for the GNUnet project, nor is it frequented by the developers. Have you brought up your problems and remarks on the mailing list or IRC (linked on this page)? They may be of better use to both you and tho others there!
Please strongly consider reporting bug and asking for help with the build process in channels which receive support and are not just occasionally monitored. https://gnunet.org/en/engage.html
You and /u/wh33t might like to take a look at this comprehensive document describing the many aspects of GNUnet. If you can't get by with the resources you were able to find (which wouldn't be too surprising), I would definitely recommend getting in touch with the developers. (See the Contact page on the website.)
You can see if there's anyone up for a chat on the Freenode IRC channel, or send a message to the help-gnunet mailing this (both described in the aforementioned page). They might answer your questions and explain the concept in a better way, or point you in the right direction. And if you find learning resources, you can definitely tell them what you think needs improvement; they are looking to improve the experience for newcomers.
