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".
|
|
|
|

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.
