dukes909 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Hey folks I am trying to get atari800 compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 but getting stuck. Can anyone help by looking at the make output and give me some direction ? Cheers configure-log.txt makeoutput.txt Edited January 10, 2021 by dukes909 changed logfile name to .txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFSL Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Viola. https://github.com/atari800/atari800/releases/tag/ATARI800_4_2_0 No this did not help you compile - but if it is just the latest release you are after one of these might/should work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible kid Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) ./configure isn't finding SDL for sound and joystick processing. With debian based distros I think this usually means you have to do apt-get install a dev version of it, maybe try looking for a match by doing an "apt-cache search sdl" I think. It will contain something similar to sdl2-dev in the name. If you already have it and it's not finding it you have to pass that to configure. Not sure about your make error. Someone more familiar with building will probably reply. Edited January 11, 2021 by invisible kid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzspeed Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 sudo apt install atari800 It's part of the Universe repo, you don't have to compile it as the version in the repo is the latest version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The command to install the development files on Linux Mint 20 (and I think all other Ubuntu based systems) is: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev For some reason I am unable to find this package by searching for "SDL" in the Software Manager - but the above command works.

Doesn't atari800 support SDL2 by now? If so, I'd go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 As others mentioned, it's missing the SDL dev package, which is C header files (.h) and some other things needed at compile time but not run-time. If you want to reclaim the space, you can remove the dev package after you've finished compiling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFSL Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Here's a nifty trick when building something that is already in the repos. apt-get build-dep atari800 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm, the one that should work is atari800_4.2.0-1_amd64.deb, which runs on Ubuntu/Debian AMD and Intel 64 bit machines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
