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.
