If you have Debian Linux (e.g. in VM), you just need to:

* Get Hatari sources:
	sudo apt-get install mercurial
	hg clone http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari
	cd hatari

* Install its build dependencies:
	sudo apt-get build-dep hatari

* Build it:
	./configure [--enable-winuae-cpu]
	make

  Or to use separate build dir:
	mkdir build
	cd build
	../configure [...]
	make

* Then run it [1]:
	src/hatari

It's not really that hard and on modern PC's it doesn't
even take that long.


[1] uninstalled version has all the debug symbols in
    case you have some problem with Hatari.

PS. As to running Linux in VMs, there have been some comments
that Hatari runs faster in them than natively with some versions
of OSX & SDL (due to how Hatari screen updates, SDL backend for
OSX and OSX screen compositor interact).
