-To compile, simply run `make`. The targets are cocoa (Default for macOS), sdl (Default for everything else), libretro, bootroms and tester. You may also specify CONF=debug (default), CONF=release or CONF=native_release to control optimization and symbols. native_release is faster than release, but is optimized to the host's CPU and therefore is not portable. You may set BOOTROMS_DIR=... to a directory containing precompiled dmg_boot.bin and cgb_boot.bin files, otherwise the build system will compile and use SameBoy's own boot ROMs.

+
+By default, the SDL port will look for resource files with a path relative to executable. If you are packaging SameBoy, you may wish to override this by setting the `DATA_DIR` variable during compilation to the target path of the directory containing all files (apart from the executable, that's not necessary) from the `build/bin/SDL` directory in the source tree. Make sure the variable ends with a `/` character.
 
 SameBoy was compiled and tested on macOS, Ubuntu and 32-bit Windows 7.
