easy. Start with <<<vars_x86linux>>> if you are a little-endian machine, or
<<<vars_linuxppc>>> if you are big endian. Don't define <<<-DGSPORT_LITTLE_ENDIAN>>>
unless your processor is little-endian (x86, Alpha). Mac, Sun, MIPS,
HP, Motorola, and IBM are big-endian.

* Incorporating Parallel Printer Support
Until parallel printer support is generally integrated into all builds, the following work needs to be done:
* Install Simple DirectMedia Layer ({{{http://www.libsdl.org/}SDL}}) in your build environment - you'll need to link to the SDL library
* Install Freetype in your build environment - you'll need to link with the freetype library
* Add <<<-DHAVE_PARALLEL>>> to the <<<CCOPTS>>> variable in your <<<vars>>> file
* Add something like <<<-I/usr/include/freetype2>>> and <<<-I/usr/include/SDL>>> options to your <<<CCOPTS>>> in your vars file to point to the SDL and Freetype include files
* Compile <<<parallel.c>>> and <<<printer.cpp>>> and include their object code as part of your final linkage
* Include SDL and Freetype libraries as part of your final linkage (i.e. <<<-lSDL -lfreetype>>>)
* After building, you'll need the file <<<parallel.rom>>> in the same directory as your GSport executable
* You'll probably want a monospaced TrueType font file easily accessible to add as part of the configuration
* Run through the emulated printer {{{printer.html}configuration}} steps
