SimH

simH is a computer system simulation platform similar to how MAME works. It can be used to run older software or gain more familiarity with the simulated systems.

Compiling - Linux

While some package managers may have simH included, for niche projects like this I will always recommend building directly from the source.

The official directions to compile the software are fairly good. These are the commands I used from the root of the project for compiling on my Ubuntu system:

sh .travis/deps.sh linux
cmake/cmake-builder.sh --flavor unix

Before doing this I had installed cmake and the libvdeplug-dev and libpcre3-dev packages, but I believe the deps script would have handled that had I not.
