There is very little to basically no documentation on how to install/compile PCem 17 for Linux.
PCem 17 does not have any Wayland Support. It does appear that PCem 18 is on the horizon which should support Wayland, but it will be a while as this is a hobby project and therefore development is slow.
- Update system, so systemd gets upgraded to latest version. libsdl2-dev will not install if it hasn't been upgraded.
- Required: You will need the Universe Repo enabled, for libsdl2-dev, libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev and libopenal-dev
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libopenal-dev gcc make g++ mkdir PCemV17Linux/ wget -c https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/files/PCemV17Linux.tar.gz tar -xvzf PCemV17Linux.tar.gz --directory PCemV17Linux cd PCemV17Linux ./configure --enable-alsa --enable-release-build --enable-networking --prefix=/opt/pcem17 make -j5 sudo make install
Once the 'make install' command has been completed, try running the following terminal command to ensure it is now working on your machine:
/opt/pcem17/bin/pcem
If build has completed successfully, running the /opt/pcem17/bin/pcem terminal command will complain about missing BIOS ROM files.
cd ~ cd .pcem mv roms roms-bak git clone https://github.com/BaRRaKudaRain/PCem-ROMs.git mv PCem-ROMs roms
Running /opt/pcem17/bin/pcem should appear with the PCem dialog.
Create a Shortcut to it by right clicking on the PCEM on the first lunch and then you will see it added among your programs.
