My earlier post just got removed by Lars Fosdal as not related to Delphi. I respect rules, but I also feel angry that Lars only skimmed through it and judged that it was not Delphi related. I would like to re-post, with a Disclaimer that my post discusses a general aspect of "How I use Linux to write software for multiple target platforms", where I am using Borland Delphi 7 on Ubuntu Linux, and where I also am sharing a full source code of a Delphi 7 project that you can download open with Delphi and use. Therefore I really remain pretty sure that this is most definitely a content related to Delphi. Post features 4 part video talks, 1 of which uses Lazarus IDE, but another uses Delphi. A 4th video will be added later that will demonstrate use of Delphi XE10.1 Berlin.

I definitely did think about the context of this group before posting, so please at least check what this is really About. Here it is again:

    In fact, this article also shares a method for Delphi programmers to create Linux software in Delphi on Windows.

    This blog seems to be more about using Wine than using Linux per se. By the way, are you aware Linux Server support is coming in the next major release?

    I agree with David and Lars. This isn't really Delphi related. It's a post about Wine.

    Kris Kamil Jacewicz - I saw Linux and multiple platforms and assumed it was FPC/Lazarus, without even opening the link. My bad. Clear descriptions in future posts may reduce the risk of me jumping the gun.

    I think it's very helpful info for Delphi programmers. The upcoming Linux support for Delphi is limited to "server side" only.

    Surely everybody interested in Linux knows that Wine exists

    Using Wine to get software to work on linux could work - unless you run on implementation limitations of Wine (like broken CompareString).

    in the article i move from basics that Wine users know already to writing so called wine-aware program, so one that knows it runs via wine and takes advantage of that knowledge and that fact. Delphi source code included.
