I appreciate your help... I have been trying most of the day to build it cant seem to get it to work.. I have searched for these errors and cannot find anything... Do you see anything that you recognize and maybe point me to some docs for that?

Greetings Oli!

compat is a lib that should be build by the make script before it's linked: ../unix/libcompat.so

I forgot how I build squish, so let's start from scratch...

[/me waiting for the build to finish...]

Sorry, I cannot reproduce it. libcompat.so is build by "make squish"
on my machine. Maybe it's a 64-bit problem? I'm building the fidonet
stuff on my 32-bit Raspberry (Debian 10). I'm also not sure if I ever managed to build maximus (the bbs) correctly. I never tested the BBS
part, only the squish tosser.

Thanks for trying... I am the opposite I want the BBS not the tosser...
