This is the README file for the Thunder distribution. Thunder is a virtual machine based on GNU lightning. The virtual machine is intended to be used as a compilation target of dynamic programming languages like Scheme and JavaScript.

See the files ./INSTALL* for building and installation instructions. Primary distribution point: https://nieper.gitlab.io/thunder Home page: https://nieper.gitlab.io/thunder Developer page: https://gitlab.com/nieper/thunder - please file bug reports, patches and feature requests here if possible. Bug reports: Please include enough information for the maintainers to reproduce the problem. Generally speaking, that means: - the contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug and command line invocations of the program(s) involved (crucial!). - a description of the problem and any samples of the erroneous output. - the version number of the program(s) involved (use --version). - hardware, operating system, and compiler versions (uname -a). - unusual options you gave to configure, if any (see config.status). - anything else that you think would be helpful. Patches are most welcome; if possible, please make them in git-am format, and include a suitable commit message. See README-dev for information on the development environment -- any interested parties are welcome. If you're a programmer and wish to contribute, this should get you started. If you're not a programmer, your help in writing test cases, checking the documentation against the implementation, translating the program strings to other languages, etc., would still be very much appreciated. Thunder is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
