[Simh] Compiling most recent release of simh

[Paul Koning]

I meant the terminal output that is shown when you do "make".

I noticed that even after installing SDL_ttf (from sources) it STILL doesn't find it -- but the files are there.  So it looks like a makefile bug.

Googling turns up SDL_ttf as a "project" listed on the libsdl.org <http://libsdl.org/> website, with a separate install kit.  https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ <https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/> has the info.  It looks like you need to install that, either from a package, or from source.
