Re: Build original Csh on Linux and FreeBSD.

[Matheus <tateusg%protonmail.com@localhost>]

Tried three sources, from Debian, NetBSD and OpenBSD, but no luck. I can run the Debian binary, but really wish to build the sources.
Here are the errors I get: http://bwass.org/bucket/err_csh.txt

John suggested Slackware's sources, but I haven't tried yet.
