Hi all, I'd like to ask and try CrossFPC. Where can I download it? How is it status, is it still alive? Does it support FPC 2.0.4 and Turbo Delphi Explorer? Does is support LCL? TIA.

You cannot download it. Due to copyright issues (it contained parts of the CLX sources) It was available for a selected crowd only, but that was a long time ago.

Some time ago (end of 2006, I think), Simon Kissel said that he was fed up with Borland/Codegear, and that in februari, he would start CrossFPC up once more, and allocate 1 full programmer to this task.

Meanwhile, I'm sorry to say, we are almost halfway May, and we still haven't seen anything. Looking at the article posted here about the Delphi roadmap, I would say that Simon Kissel has decided to put his money on Codegear anyway (I assume he's a businessman, so one cannot blame him for that). Which leads me to conclude that CrossFPC has once more been abandoned.

I still hope to be proven wrong in this, but I currently wouldn't say it is a big hope. Of course, hope dies last...

Michael.

Ah, too bad. :( Yes, we can't blame Simon for his decision. Is there a way to get CrossFPC live without being bothered by copyright issue? I believe you're one of the selected crowd. :-D

You believe correctly :-)

I don't know about redistribution. I'll see if I can find some stuff which can be of use to you. It has been a long time since I installed it, and my PC has been reformatted more than once since that time :/

If I do find something (I need to check my PC at work) then I'll send it in private.

Michael.
