This looks kinda neat! Compiling for Linux inside your Delphi IDE! No visual VCL or CLX support though - but that's kinda natural.
From the article: • 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 and Delphi XE3. Recommended/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! :)
With respect, and I might be wrong, but with Lazarus becoming more and more mature, is this still make much sense? Especially for GUI dev, visual designer is a must.

No integrated debugging though...

ReplyDeleteWell, there IS a remote debugger integrated, but right now it is a mess and there is no documentation at all. This will change with the next release.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those who haven't noticed: CrossFPC now really is released and a download is available :)
Is there a VERY simple demo application for
ReplyDeletemaking a form with button on Delphi xe and compiling it to Android?
Or it is not possible?
Works fine under XE8 and Seattle
