This is pretty well the solution I arrived at; it also seems as though
the only reason g++ can't be used for everything is that at least in
saol_parser.c 'new' is used as a variable, and g++ objects.
So I have saolc running under Linux, and it made the 'beat' example very
nicely. However, it also has the problem with an input file, so I now
welcome all clues as to what changes to make (presumably in
saol_sched.c) to make that happen.
On the matter of sfront output, the effect of my soundfile changes will
be to create a single format-transparent output function set, so that
instead of the need to link in the aif library OR the wav library
(or...), you can just link in ~the~ sf library. This then opens the
possibility of commandline arguments to sa.exe to name the outfile, for
example, in any supported format, and even to dicatate what sample
format (floats, 24bit, etc); as far as sfront itself is concerned, it is
just reading and writing floating-point buffers. That way, sa.exe can
become a useful program, with some flexibility.
