The distribution may contain sources for Nyquist. If not,
you got the runtime distribution, and there is a source version
available.
A number of "source" files are machine generated, including:
- many .c and .h files that implement signal processing functions.
These are generated by translation system that converts
.alg files to .c and .h files. .alg files give high-level
descriptions of DSP algorithms.
- Makefile.* is generated by "makefile.lsp".
The status is:
System Status
RS6K = RS6000, AIX untested, but used to work
NEXT = NeXT 3.0 (Cube) untested, but worked fine on a previous version
SGI = ??? untested, but used to work
PMAX = Mach 2.5 on Dec workstation
untested, but worked in previous version
SPARC = Sun Sparc ??? untested - previous version of Nyquist DID work
LINUX = Linux tested
Win32 tested
Mac tested
If you have problems running Nyquist on a Unix machine, I'd be happy to
help. I can give you advice or if you give me an account, I can log in
remotely and install Nyquist for you. If you make corrections yourself,
please let me have them so I can put them in the next release.
