Compilation instructions? about uvmac

[luciditee]

I don't own this repo, but I managed to get it to compile on Ubuntu 18.04 with the procedure found in this comment: #4 (comment)

Might be worthwhile for @InvisibleUp to make a BUILDING.md or COMPILING.md file to guide users on what's required.

Coming from the webpage where the author rants against minivmac, I found it amusing that his fork, which have a stated got to "make the project easier to compile", lacks info on how to compile the project.

I succeeded by doing, ubuntu (procedure in linked comment didn't work exactly):

git clone https://github.com/InvisibleUp/minivmac.git
cd minivmac
( cd src/ && git clone https://github.com/cktan/tomlc99.git )
( cd src/ && git clone https://github.com/graphitemaster/incbin.git )
( cd ./lib/M68K/ && make )
meson builddir
ninja -C builddir

Then, copying a vMac.ROM file in the directory got me a '?' screen (I found hilarious that the main README of this projects shows you what will happens when you have no ROM with the future "configuration manager").

No idea how to add a drive...

I think you have the impression that this project is significantly more complete than you think it is. I probably hyped it up way too much on my website and the readme. My sincere apologies about that.

Anyways, yes, you do a recursive clone and run meson. Unfortunately, as part of replacing the CPU core with Mushashi, I broke the floppy drive emulation as the existing Mini vMac code requires a special CPU interrupt hook. In the event I pick this project up again, that's the first thing I would need to fix.

Also, for future reference, my pronouns are she/her/hers.
