MiniVM is written in C11 with (minor GNU extensions), and builds with GCC and Clang, with TCC support not hard to patch in.
MiniVM uses GNU Make as it's build system.
You'll need
git clone github.com/FastVM/minivm --recursive
git submodule update --init
Here's some Shell Commands to build MiniVM different ways
make -Bj OPT='-g'
make -Bj CC=gcc OPT='-s -Oz -flto -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fomit-frame-pointer'
make -Bj OPT='-O3 -flto'
Here's some benchmark runs, they aren't too representative yet.
