Hi,

Before Embarcadero bought VG-Scene from KSDev, I believe it was Free Pascal compatible. Please correct me if I am wrong - maybe it was another KSDev product I'm thinking of.

Anybody know if FireMonkey 2 (one included with Delphi XE 4) is still compatible [even with some manual tweaking of FMX source code] with Free Pascal?

I've got a potential mobile project, and am evaluating various products to decide what it must be developed it. I would like to target both iOS and Android.

eg:
Free Pascal - How good is the iOS and Android support? Delphi XE 4 with FireMonkey - iOS support already exists, and have good faith that Android support will be added later this yeat.
Xamian
Java with Eclipse+ADT or IntelliJ IDEA - Android only Objective-C - iOS only

I would love to reuse code between platforms, but if I can't do it in a relatively simple manner, I'll have to use the native tools for each target.

Regards,

I haven't tested it, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't work in Free Pascal mode anymore, and even if it is with minor tweaks, it won't stay that way as they continue changing the language.

If you're ok rewriting just just the UI per platform, you should evaluate RemObject's Oxygene too.

Don't know about iOS, but since native Android target in trunk, everything seems much smoother. I don't suggest using the JVM target as the code would be difficult to reuse.
