The source files are assembled into a rom using rgbds. These instructions explain how to set up the tools required to build.
If you run into trouble, ask on irc (freenode#pret).
Currently building requires that you provide a base ROM for both versions. You can find the md5 for each version in README.md to confirm you have the right one.
You will need to rename the Gold ROM to baserom-gold.gbc and the Silver ROM to baserom-silver.gbc in order to build either version.
Python 2.7 is required.

makeTo build on Windows, install Cygwin with the default settings.
In the installer, select the following packages: make git python
Then get the most recent version of rgbds.
Extract the archive and put rgbasm.exe, rgblink.exe and rgbfix.exe in C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin.
In the Cygwin terminal:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pret/pokegold
