An attempt at creating a 'reference implementation' of a standalone monitor for VICE, using the binary monitor interface. The UI toolkit selected is Gtk3, since I have some experience with it when building the Gtk3 UI for VICE.

In order to build this tool, you'll need a proper C99-capable compiler (so not Visual Studio), auto tools, Gtk3 libs and some related tools.

Note: Some package names are how Debian names its packages, but they should be fairly easily to translate to other Linux distribution, *BSD or MSYS2.

• autotools (autoconf, automake, GNU make)
• libgtk-3-dev
• libglib-2.0-dev
• libglib-2.0-dev-bin (provides glib-compile-resources)
• xmllint (requirement for glib-compile-resources)

First we need to generate configure and its dependencies:

$ autoreconf --install

That will create ./configure and the scripts required by ./configure.

The we run:

$ ./configure

To configure the tool and search for all dependencies. Once all dependencies are satified, we can continue.

Once that succeeds, we can run:

$ make

To build the tool, which will be ./src/gtk3vicemon.
