     19 Setup:
     20 ------------
     21 
     22 === Windows ===
     23 
     24 * Unzip to a folder of your choice (which you've probably already done)
     25     Suggested location: c:\gbdk\
     26 
     27 * Recommended but not required: Add the gbdk 'bin' sub-directory to your
     28   system path using the Windows System control panel
     29 
     30 * Open a command line and compile the examples by running "compile.bat" in
     31   the "examples\gb" sub-directory:
     32     cd c:\gbdk\examples\gb
     33     compile.bat
     34 
     35 
     36 === Linux ===
     37 
     38 * Unzip to a folder of your choice (which you've probably already done)
     39     Suggested location: /opt/gbdk/
     40 
     41 * Recommended but not required:
     42     - Add the gbdk 'bin' sub-directory to your shell path. For example: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gbdk/bin
     43     - These can be set temporarily in the current shell or added to your shell defaults permanently.
     44 
     45 * Note: The GBDKDIR environment variable is not necessary to set in most cases. When lcc is
     46   called it will attempt to determine the current working directory automatically on it's own.
     47   When GBDKDIR is used it requires a trailing slash, for example: export GBDKDIR=/opt/gbdk/
     48 
     49 * Open a command line and compile the examples by running "make" in
     50   the "examples/gb" sub-directory:
     51     cd /opt/gbdk/examples/gb
     52     make
     53 
     54 
     55 
     56 GBDK is now ready for use.
