GettingStarted

This page documents how to download, compile and install WCC.

Downloading the source code

The official codebase of the Witchcraft Compiler Collection is hosted on github at https://github.com/endrazine/wcc/ . It uses git modules, so some extra steps are needed to fetch all the code including depedencies. To download the source code of wcc, in a terminal, type:

git clone https://github.com/endrazine/wcc.git
cd wcc
git submodule init
git submodule update

This will create a directory named wcc and fetch all required source code in it.
