Getting started

Requirements

  • Harbour 3.2
  • Windows — the console layer uses Win32 APIs directly
  • A C toolchain: Visual Studio (MSVC) for the local build, or mingw-w64 (used by CI)

Download

Grab cc.exe from the latest release. Release binaries are built fully static — no extra DLLs required.

Build from source

build.bat

build.bat locates a Visual Studio toolchain and forces dynamic-CRT linking — the shipped msvc64 Harbour libraries were built against /MD, so a default static-CRT link leaves CRT import symbols unresolved. It produces cc.exe.

Run

set DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...
cc.exe

Optional: cc.exe <model> overrides the model, and the DEEPSEEK_MODEL environment variable does the same.

Once running, type a request to talk to the assistant, or a command such as /help.
