I’m developing some software in Delphi (RFID) that sooner or later would want to run in Linux, what good option can I use so I don’t have to do it from zero?
I’ve seen the Embarcadero option but is not free!
thank you!
Although I agree that Lazarus/FreePascal is the way to go, cross compilation can be a real pain to setup properly. Therefore, you could take a look at free CodeTyphon. It is a powerful one click installation package for cross platform native Delphi like RAD/IDE based on Lazarus/FreePascal. You can start coding just few minutes after the download. CodeTyphon already supports 4 CPU/OS hosts (Win32, Win64, Linux32, Linux64), and 16 CPU/OS targets (arm-WinCE, arm-Linux, arm-Embedded, arm-gba, arm-nds, i386-Win32, i386-Linux, i386-FreeBSD, i386-Haiku, x86_64-Win64, x86_64-Linux, x86_64-FreeBSD, powerpc-Linux, powerpc64-Linux, sparc-Linux, sparc-Solaris). More platforms are supported in Lazarus/FreePascal, but others are not yet integrated in CodeTyphon.
