Build requirements

  • autotools - configure script creation
  • libsidplayfp version >=2.2 - the emulation library itself
  • pod2man - documentation
  • patience
  • and a decent computer to better enjoy the emulation!

The build itself

  1. Create a directory named build. Not really a required step, it's just for organization.

  2. Go to that directory.

  3. Run autoreconf -i ... This will generate the configure script, which is necessary to our build.

  4. Run ../configure. If curious, you can check the options by running ../configure --help beforehand.

  5. After configuring, run make. This is where the actual build begins. You can also add -j followed by the number of CPU threads you have to speed that process up!

  6. After building, run make install as root if necessary.

  7. You're set!! Enjoy your SID tunes by simply running c64play [options] <tune>.

See the man page of C64play and its configuration file c64play.ini for more details.
