Running make again ended up with a first success: E-UAE compiled on my system! So let's fire it up: src/uae
#UAE EMULATOR AMIGA INSTALL#
Ok, that should not be a major problem: sudo apt-get install libxext-dev Next big disappointment: E-UAE compiles with an error complaining about a missing libxext library. Next download this file into a directory of your choice (for example your home directory). So I started from there: sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall There is a somewhat outdated guide for installing E-UAE from source available at Ubuntu help. So immediately my hopes dropped that I could get UAE running on my beloved Ubuntu.Īnyways, I wanted to give it a try. Seeing that this latest version of E-UAE (0.8.29) is dated March 2007 made it no surprise to me that E-UAE installation using the preconfigured Ubuntu package failed - the E-UAE package just seems to be no longer maintained. I found the E-UAE source code at Richard Drummond's site Ok, that was obviously not the way to go. After installing E-UAE using Ubuntu Software Centre and starting it, I was greeted with a program crash report.

Overall, I found it to be a more painful process than anticipated, so I decided to share my experience here online in case someone else wants to try.
