ObjFW is a portable, lightweight framework for the Objective C language. It enables you to write an application in Objective C that will run on any platform supported by ObjFW without having to worry about differences between operating systems or various frameworks that you would otherwise need if you want to be portable.

See https://webkeks.org/objfw for more information.

Installation

To install ObjFW, just run the following commands:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

In case you checked out ObjFW from the Mercurial repository, you need to run the following command first:

$ ./autogen.sh

Building as a Mac OS X framework

It is also possible to build ObjFW as a Mac OS X framework. To do so, just execute xcodebuild -target ObjFW in the root directory of ObjFW or open the .xcodeproj in Xcode and choose Build -> Build from the menu. Copy the resulting ObjFW.framework to /Library/Frameworks and you are done.

Using the Mac OS X framework in Xcode

To use the Mac OS X framework in Xcode, you need to add the .framework to your project and add the following flags to "Other C Flags":

-fconstant-string-class=OFConstantString -fno-constant-cfstrings

Additionally, since Xcode 4, you need to manually set the compiler to GCC or LLVM-GCC due to bugs in Clang on OS X with using a different constant string class.

Optionally, if you want to use blocks, you also need to add:

-fblocks

Bugs and feature requests
