Objeck is an object-oriented programming language with functional features. Objeck emphasizes, expression, simplicity, portability, and scalability. The programming environment consists of a compiler, virtual machine, and command line debugger with IDE plugins.

class Hello {
  function : Main(args : String[]) ~ Nil {
    "Hello World" → PrintLine();
    "Καλημέρα κόσμε" → PrintLine();
    "こんにちは 世界" → PrintLine();
  }
}

Building on Linux and macOS

  • Install required libraries: sudo apt-get install build-essential git libssl-dev unixodbc-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libreadline-dev unzip
  • cd to objeck-lang/core/release and run ./deploy_posix.sh with the parameter 64 or macos for x64 Linux or macOS
  • Build output with binaries and documentation will be located in objeck-lang/core/release/deploy
  • Reference objeck-lang/core/release/deploy/readme.html to set addtional paths and find examples

Building on Windows

  • Unzip the OpenSSL Windows libraries in objeck-lang/core/lib/openssl/win/x64
  • Using Visual Studio 2022 or later open objeck-lang/core/release/objeck.sln
  • Ensure the core build completes successfully (in Release mode)
  • To build everything, open a Visual Studio x64 command prompt and go to objeck-lang/core/release directory and run deploy_amd64.cmd
  • Build output with binaries and documentation will be located in objeck-lang/core/release/deploy64
  • Reference objeck-lang/core/release/deploy64/readme.html to learn how to set the environment variables and find code examples

Building under MSYS2 on Windows
