Supercollider: Main.recompile works on linux too

Created on 30 Jul 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: supercollider/supercollider

I was reading the Main class reference, and read that recompile method

Currently macOS (SuperCollider.app) only
https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/blob/bcac8f3aaa4e5561031ac0a440422bbbe3cf32cc/HelpSource/Classes/Main.schelp#L193

But, I tried it on linux (sc 3.10.4 on ubuntu 20.04) and it worked.
Can this documentation be updated?

Thanks for reporting this! I checked git history and it looks like that Help File hasn't been updated when Library Recompilation was implemented 9 years ago :)
I'm going to make a PR now to fix it.

EDIT: btw, this is not "equivalent to restarting SC". For instance, if you have modified LanguageConfig, you'll loose the changes if you restart SC, but not if you recompile. I'm just going to remove that sentence as well.
