What's New?
- Our SourceForge hosts upgraded themselves recently;
this changes where Unicon SVN repository sources are accessed.
If you work from the repository, please checkout a new copy from the
new location as described on our SVN instructions
page.
- Jafar Al Gharaibeh's Ph.D. Dissertation on language support for virtual environments
is publically available
- The Unicon Book (2nd ed) has been updated with chapters on threads
and on program execution monitoring.
- Support for true concurrent threads is now in the sources and
binary distributions.
To enable in your own builds, make sure you have pthreads libraries
and headers, and add #define Concurrent 1 to src/h/define.h.
A Unicon TR on threads is posted on the technical reports list.
Comments and bug reports are welcome.
- A function array(i,x) works like list(), except for arrays of
integers or arrays of reals, it will save a lot of space.
- Building Unicon on Linux? You need the C/C++ compiler and libraries
(e.g. on Ubuntu, install "build-essential" package). If
you want graphics you'll need X11 (Xlib) development headers and libraries
(e.g. on Ubuntu, 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.
Unfortunately, the names of packages change over time and between
distributions. If you are having trouble finding the right package,
you can e-mail the unicon-group mailing list for advice. For 3D
OpenGL capabilities, see also
this OpenGL reference for advice on Linux (thanks Shea Newton for
the pointer!).
