You can run it under plan9ports. git clone https://github.com/9fans/plan9port.git cd plan9ports ./INSTALL # You may have to setenv PLAN9 to the above dir. I am not sure. tar xf crabs.tgz cd crabs # fix an unnamed parameter ed crabs.c <<EOF /main/s/int/int argc/ wq EOF 9c crabs.c 9l crabs.o a.out This will be about as exciting sa watching ants move about on a white wall. May be less.
