-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.
