Hi, I have to make LASH the default shell on FreeBSD with Cat9 running
as a shell script and I need a list of commands in order to compile
those two programs together from Github. I also need to install the
CHICKEN package to use it as a compiler for LASH, How do I do this?
What commands are needed to compile these three?

You can install chicken scheme with \`pkg install chicken\` but as for
lash i cant get it to compile. its last commit was in 2015.

You can install chicken dependencies with \`chicken-install \` but you
must be root since it will install into /usr/local

The rest i dont know

I am not sure but that "Cat9" is not relate to Vitor Araujo's LASH, is
it? The "LASH" part of the project is simply put that there is Lua
programing language behind. (It also seems not relate to original Lua-
shell (LASH) announced in year of 2001, though.)

If you absolutely need this setup, I suggest Debian 7 or 9. 🤷
