to your system's default C compiler. This should be gcc on Linux,
and clang on most of the BSDs. If *cc* doesn't exist on your system,
override it by adding `CC=ccompiler` to make's command like

### Portability
**Callisto has zero runtime dependencies**, unless you built it with
support for GNU libreadline. Lua 5.4 is statically linked in.
This means that the same binary will likely work across differnt Linux
support for GNU libreadline.* Lua 5.4 is statically linked in.
This means that the same binary will likely work across different Linux
distributions/versions. The only strictly required library is libc
which is available on all systems.
*libreadline support is automatically enabled by the configure script
if the system supports it. Otherwise support for it is turned off.
## Installation
Callisto is distributed as source-only, but it's not hard to compile.
