Can't compile CapacitiveSensor example in Arduino - windows

Question

I am trying to use the Capacitive Sensors Library from the Arduino Playground with Arduino 1.5.3 for Intel Galileo.
While trying to compile the example Sketch of the library with nothing touched I get the following error:
Arduino: 1.5.3 (Windows 7), Board: "Intel® Galileo"
CapacitiveSensor.cpp: In constructor
'CapacitiveSensor::CapacitiveSensor(uint8_t, uint8_t)':
CapacitiveSensor.cpp:30:63: error: 'F_CPU' was not declared in this

error: 'noInterrupts' was not declared in this scope
CapacitiveSensor.cpp:151:16: error: 'interrupts' was not declared in
this scope
I downloaded the files and imported the "CapacitiveSensor"-Folder into (I did those steps one after the other, not at the same time.):
The libraries folder under Documents/arduino/.
The libraries folder in the arduino folder where the arduino.exe is stored.
Onto arduino-1.5.3/hardware/libraries/ (because this is mentioned on the site where I downloaded it)
And I tried this: Here Because it seemed to be the same error as I had. But it didnt work.
I also deleted my Arduino and reinstalled it.
Anyone has an Idea?
Thanks in advance,
Clemens

There is a similar question on the Arduino forum but I don't know if your issue is exactly the same: [FIXED][CapacitiveSensor] Can't compile with Due (port manipulation)
It doesn't look like the Arduino folks are very responsive. The user modified register names and eventually put his own library out there.
*"...changed the uint8_t registers to RwReg (compiler doesn't complain) and I replaced the use of portModeRegister(PIN) with simple pinMode(PIN, MODE) calls (it's slower but it works)."*
