## Building QLC+
Compilation guides and platform-specific instructions are available in our [GitHub Wiki](https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/wiki).
#### Developers at work
If you're regularly updating QLC+ sources with git pull, you may encounter compiler warnings, errors, or unresolved symbols. We strive to keep the `master` branch free of critical errors; however, dependencies between objects can sometimes cause issues, requiring a full package recompilation rather than just updating recent changes.
## Contributing
### Software development
We welcome contributions from the community to help make QLC+ even better. If you're working on something major, start a thread in the [Development Forum](https://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=12) first. Make sure you read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) document for more.
### Financially
