### C compiler

You'll need Clang or GCC. If you are doing development, you most likely already have it installed.

On Windows follow these instructions: [github.com/vlang/v/wiki/Installing-a-C-compiler-on-Windows](https://github.com/vlang/v/wiki/Installing-a-C-compiler-on-Windows)
### Building without make
```bash
git clone https://github.com/vlang/v
cd v
# Download the V compiler's source translated to C
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vlang/vc/master/v.c
cc -std=gnu11 -w -o v v.c -lm # Build it with Clang or GCC
./v -o v compiler # Use the resulting V binary to build V from V source

### Testing and running the examples
Make sure V can compile itself:
```
$ cd examples
$ v run hello_world.v

Now if you want, you can start tinkering with the compiler. If you introduce a breaking change and rebuild V, you will no longer be able to use V to build itself. So it's a good idea to make a backup copy of a working compiler executable.
