Normal compiling is as simple as:

./build.sh
To make it use as many CPU threads as you have:
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc) # assumes linux
./zcutil/build.sh -j8 # use a fixed 8 threads, more portable

If `make clean` produces a compilation error, you just experienced it.

Switching branches and doing partial compiles in Hush source code
can introduce weird bugs, which are fixed by running `build.sh` again.
Additionally, it's a good idea to run `make clean` before you switch

Running `make` doesn't understand about dependency changes, such as Rust crates.
A simple C/C++ change can be tested with just `make` but if you change the version
of a dependency or something inside of Rust, you will need `build.sh` .
