The install command I used was

make install prefix=~/usr

Did I need the prefix in the make step, and not just the install step? I
should try that.

The .xroar directory did not get automatically made, so I was looking for

It does, thanks.

BTW, is there a developers mail list for the project?

Or, how would I consult with you about such things as adding an explicit
debug console? gnu dbg is a bit too flexible and distracting for what I
want to do. Or maybe I just like front panels and want to try adding one.
