Getting Started

Discussion about how to get started compiling dotty

Am I the only one getting 445 compile errors when attempting to compile a pristine copy of master?

The build is passing so I’m assuming there is something odd with my own setup although it seems somewhat surprising since the Getting Started instructions seem pretty straightforward.

Maybe it’s one of my global sbt plugins or something, seems unlikely, but I can’t really think of anything else.

Would be helpful though to confirm that this is just me.

Same here. I have checked out and compiled a different branch a while ago and that did work.

The magic incantation is git submodule update --init
