Unable to compile Supermodel in Ubuntu

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the forum and I would like to thank the developers of Supermodel. I have used it a lot on Windows, and today I decided to install it on Linux. Although I followed the installation guide on Github (
https://github.com/trzy/Supermodel), the source code was not compiled. I go through the list of steps I performed and the errors that were printed out in the terminal.
- Installation of libsdl2-dev and libsdl2-net-dev;
- I went into the /Supermodel_0.2a_Src/Makefiles/ folder;
While in the folder, I executed:
And here is the error message:
Code: Select all
make: Makefiles/Makefile.UNIX : No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target « Makefiles/Makefile.UNIX ». Stop.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am available for any additional information. My operating system is Ubuntu 24.04. Kind regards.

Don't do it in that folder. Do it one level up.

Hello Bart,
I renamed the main folder as "Supermodel02a" (to avoid errors with special characters), then I executed the following command in it as you suggested:
Code: Select all
make -f Makefiles/Makefile.SDL.UNIX.GCC
and here is the result:
Code: Select all
mkdir bin
mkdir obj
gcc Src/CPU/PowerPC/PPCDisasm.cpp `sdl-config --cflags` -ISrc/ -ISrc/OSD/SDL/ -ISrc/Pkgs/ -c -Wall -O3 -o obj/PPCDisasm.o
/bin/sh: 1: sdl-config: not found
/bin/sh: 1: gcc: not found
make: *** [Makefiles/Makefile.SDL.UNIX.GCC:193 : obj/PPCDisasm.o] Error 127
I would like to ask how can I install sdl-config and gcc. I would like to know what is "Error 127" as well. Kind regards.

I've never seen a Linux machine without gcc. But basically, you need to figure out how to install a recent version of gcc and SDL2. There should be a package manager (e.g., "apt get" or "pacman" or whatever your flavor of Linux uses). Weird that you have make but not gcc.

In Ubuntu you should be able to install SDL2 like so:
You should be able to get gcc like so:
But make sure to check online first.

You're using Supermodel v0.2a which is a million years old.
git clone the current repo.

Good catch. I didn't notice that!

Hi to everybody! Now supermodel works.
I've never seen a Linux machine without gcc.
That is because I have chosen the minimal installation setup, many packages were not included.
Thanks ToBul
Here is the list of actions I took for the installation (I am sorry to be verbose, but I am interested in giving detailed information to those who may be in my situation):
- Installation of Git, GCC, libglu1-mesa-dev;
- Cloning of source code from Github;
- Execution of: in /home/user/Supermodel/;
- Copy of Games.xml and Supermodel.ini in /home/user/.config/supermodel/Config/;
- Copy of Assets folder in /home/user/.local/share/supermodel/;
- Execution of: in the bin folder.
Then I executed (with the rom in the same bin folder of the executable):
and the emulator started. Thanks to you all
