Unicon@SourceForge

Unicon is a very high level, goal-directed,
object-oriented, general purpose applications language.

What's New?
  • Unicon has switched over to SVN. Thanks, CVS, for years of excellent functionality!
  • Preliminary support for threads is now in the sources, based on pthreads.
  • A function array(i,x) works like list(), except for arrays of integers or arrays of reals, it will save a lot of space.
  • Hugh Sasse has revamped our Help Wanted page. Thanks, Hugh!
  • Source Forge has had their first major CVS outage -- after 10 years. Per their request, we will be moving to SVN Real Soon after CVS comes back. If you work with CVS source, it is recommended you get SVN.
  • Jafar Al Gharaibeh has created a Facebook page for us.
  • Ziad Al Sharif's Ph.D. Dissertation on UDB, the Unicon Debugger
  • Building Unicon on Linux? You need the C/C++ compiler and libraries (e.g. on Ubuntu 9.10, install "build-essential" package). If you want graphics you'll need X11 (Xlib) development headers and libraries (e.g. on Ubuntu 9.10, install "libx11-dev"). You might want to install *-develop packages for libraries and headers that enable other optional features such as opengl, libz, libjpeg, libpng, ogg/vorbis, sdl, ftgl, and others.
  • Building Unicon on Snow Leopard? Check out the new amd64_macos configuration (yes, we know Macs are Intel processors; the instruction set was invented by AMD).
  • Building Unicon from source on Vista? Good luck! Check out Dr. J's Unicon Build Instructions for some tips.
  • Nolan Clayton has been kind enough to provide us with these logos for use in websites and applications:
