I had a brief look and attempted to follow your instructions to do the
build, unfortunately they are incorrect

eg

wget http://sites.google.com/site/slangey/misc/bbsb/bbsbhe.3.75.6-0.1.patch
patch -p1 < bbsbhe.3.75.6.patch

You build directories seem to be wrong too.


It is, however, very encouraging to see you've got somewhere with
this. Good job!
