+# Compiling
+
+This script seems to handle both a freshly cloned copy of the
+repository, and a repository where compilation has already happened:
+
+``` bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+set -eux
+
+MAKE="make -j$(nproc --all)"
+
+if ! test -f Makefile
+then
+	${MAKE} configure
+	./configure --with-xwidgets
+fi
+
+if ! ${MAKE} CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--with-xwidgets
+then
+    ${MAKE} CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--with-xwidgets bootstrap
+fi
+```
