Actually, after I compiled the source, there is a brew formula available. It would be easier to install re2c using Homebrew or other package managers.

brew install re2c

I don't think such information belongs on the re2c website. It varies from one OS/distro to another, it changes with time, there are often a few different package managers and ways to install a program, and it would be very hard to maintain up to date information on re2c website. Target OS forums / documentation is a much better source of information.

It usually takes quite a bit of effort to mention even most popular repositories (here is a helix example).

WDYT of just mentioning the list of repositories that package re2c? Would it be enough for you to start looking ahow to install it from there?

Thank you for considering this. The packaging status has been extremely helpful.

I added Repology links on the main page (just a link) and on the build page (embedded SVG). It won't show on the official website yet as I can't publish some other changes before the next release, but it will be there after release 4.1.
