BSVC is a microprocessor simulation framework written in C++ and Tcl/Tk. It was developed as a senior design project at North Carolina State University by Bradford W. Mott (see the Docs/Credits.txt file for copyright information and in the Credits section below).
This version of BSVC is currently under development. It removes the Tcl/Tk interface and replaces it with a new and improved interface written in Qt. Parts of the original BSVC have been rewritten to support the new interface while keeping almost all of the original code intact.
Currently it only supports (hopefully) the sim68000 version of the original project.
The project has to be dinamically compiled agains the Qt 5.6 libraries.

The assembler seems to have been originally written by Paul Franzon and Tom Miller, with changes by Tan Phan in 1991 and Bradford Mott in 1994.
MC68360 support was provded by Jorand Didier. Much work was done by Xavier Plasencia at SDSU.
On April 29, 2015, BSVC was relicensed under the GNU Public License, version 2.1.

Qt can be downloaded from: https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer Follow the steps in the installer tool to set up the Qt environment and install the Qt 5.6 version required for this project.
The project includes a Qmake .pro file that automatically sets up the enviroment and generates Makefiles for the current Qt version and toolchain.
Download the source files and run the qmake tool:
cd /path/to/project
qmake
Run either make or Nmake:
make
Currently there is no installer script provided. You can run /GUI/GUI to start the application.
