About Boron

Boron is an interpreted, prototype-based, scripting language similar to Rebol. The interpreter and datatype system is a C library useful for building domain-specific languages (DSLs) embedded in C/C++ applications.

It is a smaller language than Rebol with fewer built-in data types, no infix operators, and no built-in internet protocols. It does add the capability to slice series values and store data in a serialized binary format.

The library may be copied under the terms of the LGPLv3, which is included in the LICENSE file.

How to compile

These commands can be used to build the shared library and interpreter program on UNIX systems:

./configure
make

To see the configure options run:

./configure -h

Use the make install & install-dev targets to copy files into the local system directories. If the DESTDIR is not provided then the files will be placed under /usr/local.

sudo make install DESTDIR=/usr
sudo make install-dev DESTDIR=/usr
