# Building RETRO on Linux
Building on Linux is pretty easy. You'll need to make sure
you have a C compiler, headers, and make.
## Requirements
- c compiler (tested: clang, tcc, gcc)
- development headers
- make
## Process
Run:
```
make
```
This will build the toolchain and then the main `retro`
executable.
## Executables
In the `bin/` directory:
retro
retro-unu
retro-muri
retro-extend
retro-embedimage
retro-describe
## Troubleshooting
I've had issues building on Linux in the past. The GNU toolchain
can be quite problematic.
If the build fails, try:
make -f GNUmakefile
or:
mv GNUmakefile Makefile
make
If none of these work, contact Charles with details and he will
work on finding a fix.
