A little lost with all the LisaEM builds, what is the latest/best for Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Debian 13)

It's been a minute since I've compiled for Linux, but I did create a runner to compile the master branch on Linux for every PR, and here should be the steps you'll want to do it locally:

Clone the lisaem repo:

git clone https://github.com/arcanebyte/lisaem
Set your PATH:

export PATH="/usr/local/wx3.2.1-gtk/bin/:$PATH"
Within the lisaem repo, install wxWidgets:

scripts/build-wx3.2.1-gtk.sh
Within the lisaem repo, build and install LisaEm:

./build.sh clean build
./build.sh install

Give that a go and let me know how it goes. There's a newer wxWidgets library that I need to test at some point, but hopefully this will work for you without much trouble.

Here is how it went.

Sorry about the typing skills I have a tiny USB keyboard for the Pi, does not fit well on my desk.

I tested this on Debian 12 (Bookworm) this morning. I don't have a Debian 13 VM. Give it a go and let me know.

apt install git build-essential libtiff-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev

git clone https://github.com/arcanebyte/lisaem
cd lisaem

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/wx3.2.1-gtk/bin/"
scripts/build-wx3.2.1-gtk.sh

./build.sh clean build
sudo PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/wx3.2.1-gtk/bin/" ./build.sh install

There is a new wxWidgets library and I'll test that soon and update the build scripts. If this is successful for you, I'll update the README and build instructions accordingly.

That seems to have worked!

I need to set up the drives, but the emulator runs.

One small thing: the first line must be run with sudo

Are ROM files supposed to be included?

I added known good ROM and profile image.

No startup check, just dead screen.
