Just grabbed 3.03 and yes does report some issues under Linux i.e., -lcompat
and where definitions declared not used and the reverse but if I had a bit 
more
time can I think be resolved and these for both max and squish.

Just had a look at 3.02 but that assumes you are using Windows.

So for Linux 3.03 is the way to go and resolve the issues to get a good build.

I have had similar to get other old code to work such as golded although never
managed it (at least so far) for running on a Raspberry Pi 4 but ok for a 3B+.
No have not figured out that one but will need to allocate some time resources
to it in the next few weeks.

It helps if you are a programmer and for non *nix platforms to install the 
open
Watcom C compiler. I think it is around for Linux but have now run out of 
time.
