This is community effort to create a User Guide for the MEGA65 in the spirit of the original User Guide for the Commodore 64.

• MingW32 (tested on MinGW-6.3.0, and MinGW-8.1.0) for Windows or GCC Compiler for Linux / Mac OS X.
• This project repo.
• The mega65-core repo: https://github.com/MEGA65/mega65-core is required for the memory tables included in the User Guide.
• A typesetting environment that supports XeLaTeX, for example: http://www.tug.org/texworks/ for Windows.

The User Guide project is defined using a Makefile to build. Therefore if you are using an environment like TeXworks, do not use the built in Build button. That is for single file building only. For MingW32 users, just use:

mingw32-make or mingw32-make userguide.pdf in the main folder of the project to build the userguide.pdf file.

If you wish to build the reference manual, use: mingw32-make referenceguide.pdf.

If you wish to build the nexys4 setup guide, use: mingw32-make nexys4-setup-guide.pdf.

There is also a sandbox.pdf for experimenting with typesetting or components for the manuals. But it is not included in the makefile. Instead, it is able to be built directly using software like TeXworks.

The sandbox is faster to build and test changes more quickly. You can then transfer your work directly to the userguide.

For Mac OS X and Linux users, the instructions are the same, but use make in the main folder instead.
