Applications for Linux

[AbraKadabra 0]

Hi!
 

Our company has several Delphi Rio Professional licenses. GetIt subscription has expired.

We would like to develop applications for Linux, for MS SQL Server and PostgreSQL. We do not have FmxLinux and FireDAC.

Can we buy and install FmxLinux and FireDac for Delphi Rio?

If not, or this is not enough, please advise what is best for us to buy.

I don't think that Delphi RIO Professional Edition had supported Linux apps (not server, not gui). It can support Mac, IOS, Android, but not Linux.

 

And there is no more support for that release: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Support/en/Supported_Versions

 

I see few options, in my opinion the best solution should be update some licenses to the new version.

 

P.S.: the new version 12.3 Prof. Ed. doesn't support Linux too .....

Yes, from FMXLinux's website it seems to be the case even if you buy it separately.

As @DelphiUdIT already said: The first thing you need is a compiler that creates binaries for Linux. And Delphi Professional - regardless which version - doesn't include that. According to Embarcadero's overview, you need at least the Enterprise SKU.

 

On top of that, you might need GUI libraries, this is where FMXLinux comes into play. Of course the question is, whether you actually need a GUI. What kind of applications do you plan to develop?

And in the end it links dynamically, I don't know if all the hassle is worth it.

Also for FireDac you need at least Delphi Enterprise. (Professional only FireDac local/embedded databases)

One can use also third party packages like ZeosLib instead of FireDac ..... but for Linux compiler there is no chance.
