It's not obvious where to get the zmac dependency

[KI5JYD]

I get this error message:

make: zmac: Command not found

Where do I find this zmac? Google is NOT helping.

I'm sorry, I don't have any further info, except my OS is Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64.

Tim has a copy of zmac on his website (http://www.tim-mann.org/trs80resources.html).

George Phillips has picked up on-going development of zmac and maintains his fork here: http://48k.ca/zmac.html I don't think that xtrs supports building with this version without a few tweaks to the make file however.

Thanks, @davefiddes for that info. I'm taking a break from my computer right now (I'm replying on mobile), and I'll take a look at that soon.

I commented in the pull request (#32) but will repeat it here:

Checking a copy of zmac into xtrs's git repository doesn't seem like the right idea to me.

git submodules are kind of nasty, but pointing to a separate zmac repository as a submodule seems like it would be the normal git way of handling a dependency like this.

I plan to look and see if there's a suitable version of zmac in a public git repository. If not, I might check in zmac1.3 as a separate repository.

For the very short term I'll add a line to the README.
