6502 Building from Source

You need the following libraries installed to build the toolchain:

pthread rt m SDL2 GL GLEW GLU readline

The first three will be included on any POSIX compliant operating system (OS X, Linux, BSD, etc). To install SDL2, visit its website or use your distributions package manager.

You also need awk installed if you want to modify the 6502.csv file from which parts of the emulator are generated. If you don’t want to do this, run cmake with -DGEN_INSTRUCTIONS_HEADER=OFF

You may be able to build this on Windows using Cygwin or MinGW, but I haven’t tested that.

Run the usual commands to build with cmake:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j
$ ./6502 # you built it, nice
