AbraKadabra 0 Posted April 16 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. Share this post Link to post
DelphiUdIT 228 Posted April 16 (edited) 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 ..... Edited April 16 by DelphiUdIT Share this post Link to post

dummzeuch 1630 Posted April 16 (edited) 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?

Die Holländer 83 Posted April 16 (edited) Also for FireDac you need at least Delphi Enterprise. (Professional only FireDac local/embedded databases) Edited April 16 by Die Holländer Share this post Link to post
