Really stupid question here, but how do I start compiling Lobster programs on my machine (Windows or Linux)?

There are some releases which come with pre-built exes for e.g Windows: https://github.com/aardappel/lobster/releases

I'd highly recommend you build it yourself though, which can be done rather easily with VS (2019) on Windows or CMake on Linux. On Windows just press build in release mode and you're done. More notes here: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent...

Then cd lobster && lobster samples/pythtree.lobster for example should run something. Or see here how to use from command line or from your fav editor: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/aardappel/l...

Cheers!
