It also has a graphics library called TGI that makes Lynx coding relatively easy.

 CC65 can be built from source on any *NIX compatible system with the following commands. Note that these commands assume you want to get the **latest** source for CC65 and are only interested in compiling your code for the Lynx. CC65 can be used to compile for many other 6502 based systems, if you are after that, please adjust the targets accordingly. CC65 can be built from source on any *NIX compatible system with the following commands.

 +Note: Due to some "fixes" that were done in the latest release of CC65, it is recommended to get the code for the 2.19 version (https://github.com/cc65/cc65/releases/tag/V2.19) and use that instead.

To build Lynx code all you need to do is include the **cc65/bin** directory in your **PATH**. For example...

 +<code> 
 +export CC65_HOME=`pwd` 
 +export PATH="$CC65_HOME/bin:$PATH"

 +==== LLVM-MOS ==== 
 + 
 +[[https://github.com/llvm-mos/llvm-mos-sdk|LLVM-MOS]] provides a BLL format ".o" executable file output for the Lynx. It is meant to produce better code than CC65.
