Hmm.  I remember sqsh 2.1 not being all that hard to build, but the other
day I built it on another box and was vexed for quite awhile, because
configure couldn't be coerced to show up for work.  I ended up with a little
script to fix various things, attached here for your giggling pleasure:

<script>
$ more ../sqsh-2.1/regen
export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L /usr/pkg/lib"
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}  -g -I/usr/pkg/include"
export SYBASE=/usr/local

./configure  --with-readline

perl -i -pe     '
                if (/^READLINE/) {s!/local/!/pkg/!g;}
                s/^(SYBASE_LIBS   = )/$1 -liconv /;
                ' \
     src/Makefile
grep ^SYBASE src/Makefile

perl -i -pe     '
                s!/\* #undef HAVE_STRERROR \*/!#define HAVE_STRERROR 1!;
                s!/\* #undef HAVE_STRFTIME \*/!#define HAVE_STRFTIME 1!;
                s!/\* #undef HAVE_LOCALTIME \*/!#define HAVE_LOCALTIME 1!;
                s!/\* #undef HAVE_STRCASECMP \*/!#define HAVE_STRCASECMP 1!;
                ' \
     src/config.h
</script>
