Building ITS for the PDP-10

So glad this is automated! Got files and procedures from github.

make clean all EMULATOR=pdp10-ka

A lot of text scrolls by on the screen… it takes quite a long time to build the dependencies. And by a long time, I mean around 2 hours. Where’s that turbo button when you need it? A big reason it’s so slow is because much of the work is in the emulator, “KA-10 simulator Open SIMH V4.1-0 Current”. I think I saw spcwar scroll by on the screen. A few times you wonder if it’s stuck. But by habit, I run a system monitor and I could see pdp10ka… working.

After running over 2 hrs. I get…

sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev (didn't work)

Perhaps I should have...
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev (ALREADY INSTALLED)
Next...
sudo apt install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev

Start again at 10:24AM. Ran 2 hrs. Then got the same error.
