PCem v17 for Linux

There is very little to basically no documentation on how to install/compile PCem 17 for Linux.

Ubuntu 21.04

Notes

• 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.

PCem ROMS

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.
