I had issues trying to build it several years ago; it used
an old version of some keyboard handling that I had trouble
finding.

However, now (or, at least, as of some time last year
when I did it) you an just do "sudo apt install trn".

There was a flurry of interest in keeping it going 
about that time; someone was working on updates and
keeping it going, but I haven't looked at that in a while.
