Today I tried to build and install OpenCBM on my laptop running Linux Mint 21.3 (Virginia) by using this guide for version 0.4.99.104 from 2022:
https://opencbm.trikaliotis.net/opencbm.html
It turned out that the link to the tarball was outdated and some prerequisites were missing. I'm not much of a Linux geek, but if you're using Mint and just want it to work, my steps might help you.
1. I installed these applications using the Software Manager:
Build-essential
cc65
2. I installed these debian packages using the Synaptic Package Manager:
libusb-1.0-0-dev
libncurses-dev
3. The source code tarball can now be downloaded here:
https://github.com/OpenCBM/OpenCBM/archive/refs/tags/v0_4_99_104.tar.gz
The next steps in the manual worked without any problems for me and I was able to successfully connect my drive (1541-II) with the laptop using a XUM1541 adapter.
