===== HOW TO BUILD THE COMPILER =====

==== FOREWORD ====

This is a step by step guide to download, compile and install the software needed to generate the "Commodore" targets. On [[ugbasic:targets|this page]] you will find the complete list of available targets. The compiler makes use of the ''ca65'' compiler to produce executables for the 6502 targets, while it uses the ''z80asm'' of z88dk compiler for others. As it makes use of advanced features, you need to install the latest version of each of these software.

==== LINUX ====

=== Step 1: install gcc compiler ===

    sudo apt install build-essential

=== Step 2: install CC65 compiler ===

    git clone https://github.com/cc65/cc65.git
    cd cc65
    make
    sudo -i
    export PREFIX=/usr/local
    make install
    exit

=== Step 3: generate the compiler (and the examples) ===

    make target=c64 output=prg clean all

==== WINDOWS ====
