Missing note about how to compile and run the simulator

[adragomir]

Hey, I tried compiling and running the MarlinSimulator a bunch of times, there are some issues related to:

1. SDL on Mac OS X
2. Compilation fails with Clang.

Maybe some small description on how to compile the simulator would be useful. I still could not get it to work.

a couple of weeks ago, I tried to understand how to run the simulator and failed miserably. A doc would be very much appreciated.

You need to add the following defines:
AVR_ATmega2560=1
ARDUINO=100
F_CPU=16000000

I've been using code-blocks to compile the project.

@daid I am still confused. There's no Makefile or the like under ./MarlinSimulator. Does it mean that you just load the files in the directory into code-blocks and it compiles w/o any Makefile/project file?

[adragomir]

@daid I think a good starting point would be to add the Code::Blocks project files to the repository, so they serve as a starting point.

Good point, I forgot to include that file.
