Description

CrossFPC is a free toolkit to integrate the FreePascal compiler, targetting various OS and hardware platforms, as a cross-compiler into the Embarcadero Delphi IDE.

Using an integrated toolchain, CrossFPC enables you to create 32 bit and 64 bit native Linux applications for both X86, Linux ARM and Android without ever leaving the IDE. In addition you can compile 64 Bit Windows applications. CrossFPC also runs in a stand-alone not requiring any Delphi IDE, and can be used as an easy cross-build tool for FPC / Lazarus users.

This project was created for people who wish to develop cross-platform applications with Delphi while staying inside the familiar Delphi IDE. The project is best suited for usage in console and web applications and embedded projects. The typical work process looks like that you develop, debug and test your application under windows, and then cross-compile it to the deployment platforms with a single click. For now, Visual VCL or CLX applications are not supported. The project is therefore best suited for embedded applications and applications that do not use a standard OS GUI. Today, CrossFPC mostly is used to develop cross-platform embedded applications, for example digital gadgets, and to create multimedia apps and games for ARM-based platforms like mobile handsets. Today, CrossFPC for example is used to write applications used on plug computers like SheevaPlug or to develop application servers deployed on Linux server systems in data centers.

Features:

• Allows you to compile native Linux applications from inside the Windows Delphi IDE - supported IDE versions are Delphi 7, Delphi 2007, Delphi 2009, Delphi 2010, Delphi XE, Delphi XE2, Delphi XE3 and Delphi XE4 (newer versions should work, but untested). Most tested IDE version is Delphi 7.
• Stand-alone version of the cross-compiler is also available, to automate builds outside of the Delphi IDE
• Console projects, packages and any kind of non-visual applications are fully supported
• CrossFPC is perfectly integrated into the Delphi IDE - you will get compile warnings, hints and error messages, and be able to jump to the lines in question by clicking on the message pane the same way as with the internal Delphi Windows compiler
• Source compatible with Kylix - it's more or less a drop-in replacement for the Kylix compiler
• It's free. :)

Description

CrossKylix is a free toolkit to integrate the Borland Kylix (Delphi for Linux) compiler into the Delphi IDE.

This project was created for people who wish to develop cross-platform applications with Delphi, without the need to switch between Linux/Kylix and Windows/Delphi all the time. The project is best suited for usage in web applications, packages and components, but crosscompiling of visual CLX projects is also supported.

Up until developing cross-platform with Delphi required you to have a seperate Linux installation (either on a dedicated box or inside VMWare) to recompile your project for the Linux platform. With CrossKylix this is no longer needed - you are able to build your project using the Kylix compiler from directly inside your Windows Delphi IDE, without the requirement of a local Linux system.

CrossKylix has the following features:

• Allows you to compile native Linux applications from inside the Delphi IDE.
• Console projects, packages and visual CLX applications are fully supported.

CrossKylix is perfectly integrated into the Delphi IDE - you will get compile warnings, hints and error messages, and be able to jump to the lines in question by clicking on the message pane the same way as with the internal Delphi compiler.

Makes Kylix Application deployment easier than ever - no need to install Kylix shared objects to /usr/lib, no need to create startup scripts for your Application.

Very high Linux emulation speed - low compile times.

A command line compiler (ckdcc) is included.

It automatically fixes the Kylix exec-shield bug during compilation.

New: Now also compatible with Windows 7.
