I put a laptop with Linux Mint 17 to compiling BitsharesX 0.3.1 and that did complete after ~14hrs! I put that down to it's having only 0.5GB RAM and 2GB Swap but I do wonder that it shouldn't take that long. Most time appeared to be absorbed passing 84+%.
So, that was following through
https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.3.1 and I wonder that page should link to
https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/blob/master/BUILD_UBUNTU.md so it's more clear how to compile.

I'm unclear whether have the dacsunlimited/bitsharesx is sufficient to be useful to me at this stage.
