The best way is to do it in 3 steps:
-> compile bin/lisaac.c
-> use bin/lisaac to compile src/lisaac.li
-> and then use src/lisaac to compile src/lisaac.li
If you do this in debug mode, you will know that the compiler is quite stable

And we have a script in lisaac/example to compile the whole set of examples.
