A quick walkthrough on how to compile and get PCem v17 running on Linux (mainly Debian-based distros, might work for other distros). I am using Pop!_OS 21.04

Dependencies:
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt install libopenal-dev

sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/codelite.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.5/ubuntu/ focal universe

apt-get update

wget https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.5/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets3.0/libwxbase3.0-dev_3.0.5-1.focal_amd64.deb
wget https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.0.5/ubuntu/pool/universe/w/wxwidgets3.0/wx3.0-headers_3.0.5-1.focal_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libwxbase3.0-dev_3.0.5-1.focal_amd64.deb wx3.0-headers_3.0.5-1.focal_amd64.deb

sudo apt install libwxbase3.0-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk3.0-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk3.0-dev \
                 wx-common \
                 libwxbase3.0-dbg \
                 libwxgtk3.0-dbg \
                 wx3.0-i18n \
                 wx3.0-examples \
                 wx3.0-doc


mkdir ~/projects/
cd ~/projects/


PCem:
Go to the github page (https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem) and clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem.git 

or

mkdir pcem
cd pcem

Go to the website (https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/) and go to the downloads section.

wget https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/files/PCemV17Linux.tar.gz

tar tar -xf PCemV17Linux.tar.gz

./configure --enable-release-build
make
./pcem

After tunning for the first time go to the root of your users home directory and look for a folder called (.pcem).  Here is where you will add the roms for the different PC you want to emulate.

copy the application to your home/<username>/.local/bin directory so you can launch it anywhere.  just make sure the path is in your .bashrc local first.
cp pcem ~/.local/bin/

nano ~/.bashrc

*put this at the end from the last line
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/.local/usr/bin:$PATH

Re-launch
./pcem

Your all set, have fun.
