Compilation

Dependencies

• 'build-essential', 'base-devel', or equivalent (GCC for *nix binaries)
• 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++' or equivalent (GCC for windows binaries)
• 64tass (6502 assembler)
• SDL2 development library
• 'python3'
  • 'pillow'
  • 'gitpython'
  • 'pyserial' (optional for uploading files via serial port, not needed to build)

All of the sources and dependencies are freely available. Most distros have the dependencies packaged.

• Debian-based distros:

• *nix emulator: $ sudo apt install 64tass build-essential cmake libsdl2-dev python3 python3-pip zip
• Windows emulator: $ sudo apt install 64tass build-essential cmake g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 libsdl2-dev mingw-w64 python3 python3-pip zip
