Re: Studying source

There's a chapter in the Supercollider Book about Server internals.
Maybe that would be a good start before digging into the actual source code.

You don't need to understand the build system to understand how the
software works. You can just ignore it for now. However, cmake is widely
used in the C++ world, so it's certainly not a bad idea to learn the basics.

I'd say, start with "scsynth_main.cpp", which is the entry point of the
scsynth application, and gradually work yourself up from there :-)
