Hi, I found Michael presentation useful for helping me build the dev branch. There are brief instructions in page 15 which I modified to use the dev branch. I am willing to help test a new version time premitting.

I confirm that this works for me. As I wrote below "perhaps trivial to some of you, and stumbling blocks to others" :-) Could you kindly add your instructions to https://github.com/mej/nhc?tab=readme-ov-file#installation ? IMHO, the below commands "git clone ... ; git switch dev" ought to be documented as well - again for the benefit of those of us not well versed in Git and GNU Autotools.
