Assembler Symbols for Basic & Kernal ROMs

Hi
Is there a text file somewhere I can make use of that contains all the symbols and associated values & addresses of the various labels used in the ROM disassemblies?
I’d like to build this symbol data in to my assembler / disassembler app.
Cheers
Martin

.sym files are generated if you build the Kernal project yourself.

Thank you.
I was rather hoping not to have to go through the pain of installing the tool chain and making sure it is working, then build the entire ROM binary correctly in order to get hold of data or a file that must surely already exist somewhere given that the ROM code has already been built.

Currently the .sym files are not part of the git repository.
They could be, but they are very volatile, basically changing on every commit.
Wouldn’t it be even more pain pairing pre-built .sym files to different Kernal versions?

It would be a pain, as you suggest.
And the .sym files for a released version of the ROMs are, by definition, fixed. That’s what I’m after.

Look in the ZIP file that contains the emulator.
