libsidplayfp is a C64 music player library which integrates the reSID SID chip emulation engine into a cycle-based emulator environment, constantly aiming to improve emulation of the C64 system and the SID chips.

This package uses autotools, so the usual ./configure && make is enough to build
the libraries. If cloning the bare sources the package needs to be bootstrapped
in advance with the autoreconf -vfi command. This step requires the xa cross-assembler
to compile the 6502 code, usually provided by distributions with the xa65 package
or available at http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/xa/.
In addition to the standard build options the following are available:
--enable-debug[=no/yes/full]:
compile with debugging messages,
disabled by default
--enable-inline:
enable inlinig in the reSID engine, increases performances at the expense of bigger code size.
Enabled by default
--enable-branch-hints:
enable branch hints in the reSID engine so the compiler can produce more optimized code,
enabled by default
--with-simd=<mmx/sse2/sse4/avx2/avx512f/none>:
enable SIMD code, mostly useful for resampling performance in reSIDfp.
Not required if -march or -mcpu is already included in the compiler flags
(i.e. CXXFLAGS=-march=x86-64-v3).
None by default
--enable-testsuite=PATH_TO_TESTSUITE:
add support for running VICE's testsuite (in PRG format). The testsuite is available
in the repository. Intended only for regression tests since it may break normal
code execution. The path to testsuite must include terminal path separator.
Disabled by default
--enable-tests:
enables unit tests. Use make check to launch the testsuite.
Disabled by default
--with-gcrypt / --without-gcrypt:
force/disable libgcrypt support for MD5 computation.
default check
--with-exsid:
Build with exsid support. Requires either libexsid or one of libfdti1 or libftd2xx
If doxygen is installed and detected by the configure script, the documentation
can be built by invoking make doc.
Known bugs/limitations:
- mus data embedded in psid file is not supported
