PCem v8.1 Linux supplement
PCem v13 Linux supplement
You will need the following libraries :
Allegro 4.x
SDL2
wxWidgets 3.x
OpenAL
ALut
and their dependencies.
Open a terminal window, navigate to the PCem directory then enter
./configure
./configure --enable-release
make
then ./pcem to run.
The Linux version stores BIOS ROM images, configuration files, and other data in ~/.pcem
The Linux port is currently entirely unpolished, and mainly exists as a starting point for
anyone who wants to make a better port.
configure options are :
--enable-release-build : Generate release build. Recommended for regular use.
--enable-debug : Compile with debugging enabled.
--enable-networking : Build with networking support.
--enable-alsa : Build with support for MIDI output through ALSA. Requires libasound.
The menu is not available all the time. Press CTRL-ALT-PGDN to open it.
The mouse does not work very well, at least on my machine. This is most likely an Allegro issue.
Fullscreen mode is not present.
Video acceleration is not used at all, so performance is inferior to the Windows version.
The menu is a pop-up menu in the Linux port. Right-click on the main window when mouse is not
captured.
CD-ROM support currently only accesses /dev/cdrom. It has not been heavily tested.
