Okay, so I stumbled upon this thing called “little felix” and figured I’d give it a shot. I’m always up for trying new things, you know? Especially when it comes to coding projects, and this one is a compiler. It’s a new project for me.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to find the source code. That’s where GitHub comes to my help. I got everything downloaded and ready to go.
The Build Process
Next up, I tried to follow the “build” instructions. I tried to build and run it. It was not complex.
After some basic operations, the build command was a success.
Running the Examples
With the build process kinda-sorta working, I moved on to running some of the examples. They had a bunch of test programs, so I started poking around those.
- I picked a few that looked simple enough, just to see if I could get anything to run.
- Some of them worked right away! I saw some output, which was exciting.
- Others, well, not so much. I got some errors, which wasn’t surprising, but I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
I spent some time digging through the code, trying to see what the example programs were supposed to do. Some of it made sense, but a lot of it was still over my head.
Experimenting and Tinkering
Then I start making a tiny change, and another tiny change, and the program ran! The excitement built up inside of me.
Wrapping Up (For Now)
So, that’s where I’m at with “little felix” so far. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster – some successes, some failures, and a whole lot of “what the heck is going on?” But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? I’m definitely going to keep playing around with it and see if I can get a better handle on things. It will be an interesting journey!
