Explanation from Roger Dannenberg: The original Nyquist language was an
extended XLISP. Now, there are two "syntaxes": Lisp and Sal. Sal is a
procedural infix language. A small compiler (written in Lisp) translates
Sal into Lisp and then the translated code runs directly on the Lisp
interpreter. You can write plug-ins in either Lisp or Sal syntax, and
there could be library code to support plug-ins and provide other
functions in the future. Sal is definitely source code and likely to be
compact. I would advise any new user to use Sal instead of Lisp, so I
expect more .sal sources in the future.
Thus keep the Sal source code in the repository and do not ignore them.
The lv2 library ships some xhtml*.mod file, but they are ignored by the
*.mod rule. The *.mod rules should exclude Fortran module files, but
this repository does not ship any Fortran code. Thus just remove the
*.mod exclude rule.
The sord library contains some test files named *.out, but they are
ignored by the *.out rule.
a.out is the default file name for executables on Linux if no output
filename is specified. All executables that we build carry a name
without extension. Thus no generated file carries an .out extension.
Therefore just remove the *.out ignore rule.
Note: You can list ignored files by running
git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
Autotools generates some helpers file as well as it creates files from
templates (e.g. audacity.desktop). Add these files to .gitignore to not
commit them.
This provides additional improvements and updates for building
Audacity using Xcode 5.1 or above.
The whole configure/makefile system is no longer used during
normal builds. During library additions/updates it used to
regenerated the headers in mac/config.
