Well, i need a compilator to compile the program(DialD), and I cant
use any kind of apt or similiar since I dont have any access
whatsoever to the internet with that computer, that is what im trying
to do.

So, I aint using the debian packages, I am using the latest version I
could find that I can install with 3.5" floppies. As I said earlier it
was installed with.
