Compile BeebEm:
BeebEm uses the GNU Auto-tools, so should be very easy to install on
any UNIX-like system.

You will need the gtk2 library + its headers (for the file selector),
and the SDL library + its headers.

You should follow the instructions below as the 'root' user if you
wish to install BeebEm in /usr/local. If you wish to install BeebEm
in your user account, then please add --prefix=$HOME/beebem to the
configure command below. This will make 'make install-strip' install
all files to $HOME/beebem/bin and $HOME/beebem/share (where you
have write permissions etc).

Download/copy the tarball + patches to /tmp, then perform the following:

---

cd /tmp

# Check that the file downloaded correctly (this may be md5sum on
# Linux):
md5 beebem-0.0.13.tar.gz

# Extract the tarball:
tar zxvf beebem-0.0.13.tar.gz

# Apply the patches:
patch -p0 < beebem-0.0.13_64bit.patch
patch -p0 < beebem-0.0.13-keys.patch
patch -p0 < beebem-0.0.13_menu_crash.patch

# Compile BeebEm.
cd beebem-0.0.13

# If you use FreeBSD, then you need to edit the configure script,
# so please look at the FreeBSD notes below at this point).

# Configure BeebEm for compiling:
./configure --enable-econet
make

# Install BeebEm:
make install-strip

# Clean-up
cd ..
rm -fr beebem-0.0.13

---

You should now store the tarball beebem-0.0.13.tar.gz + the patches
in a safe place.

The BeebEm binary is installed to /usr/local/bin/beebem
and resources are installed to /usr/local/share/beebem

---

To uninstall BeebEm when installed as 'root':

# Copy the tarball back to /tmp and decompress it again:
cd /tmp
tar zxvf beebem-0.0.13.tar.gz
cd beebem-0.0.13

# (For FreeBSD follow the notes again).

./configure
make uninstall

# Clean-up
cd ..
rm -fr beebem-0.0.13

---

If you installed BeebEm to your user account or the binary version, then
yuo can just delete the directory its in (of course)!

---

If you deleted the tarball and wish to manually delete BeebEm, then
BeebEm installs itself by default into the following locations:

# The executable file:
/usr/local/bin/beebem

# Resource files (delete whole directory):
/usr/local/share/beebem

By deleting the above files BeebEm is completely removed from your
system manually.

---

Your user configuration files are stored in $HOME/.beebem. Please
be aware that the SASI/SCSI hard disc images are quite large, so
if you remove BeebEm, you may wish to delete this directory too.

All user specific configuration and hard disc images etc will be
lost of course!

---

Maximise your nostalgia by running BeebEm for the first time like this:

beebem welcome.ssd

It'll run the BBC welcome disc! Cool! :-)

---

FreeBSD notes:

The configure script needs a tool called 'sdl-config' to determine
where SDL resources are located. However FreeBSD ports will postfix
this command with the SDL version number, so 'sdl-config' becomes
sdl11-config.

So before running the configure script above, please edit this file
so that every occurrence of sdl-config, becomes sdl11-config.

You can automate that change with sed like so:

sed s/sdl-config/sdl11-config/g configure > configure2
chmod u+x configure2
mv configure2 configure
