Delphi for iMac

Delphi for iMac
Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:58:45 +010
Hello,

I bought an iMac a few months ago due to the all the problems with 
Windows (slow, modal forms hiding behind the main form, flashing icons 
on the desktop, problems with HTML Help, DHTMLEd.ocx and virtual USB 
printer port, etc...).

What a difference with an iMac !
But I miss Delphi on this system.

Are there any plans to develop Delphi/Kylix for iMac and Linux ?

Kylix is Delphi for Linux, but it is no longer being developed.  There are 
no plans for supporting Mac anytime soon.  You can use FreeFascal/Lazarus 
(http://www.freepascal.org) for Mac, though.

Hello Remi,

It is a pity that Delphi is narrowed to Windows ! The Mac is so much 
faster and easier to use, especially for my clients.

FreePascal/Lazarus is not easy to install on a Mac. This software has no 
installation program, so the user has to install everything manually and 
missing 3rd party software has to be downloaded and installed seperately.
NetBeans is a better solution: installed in 2 minutes and it looks like 
Delphi 2007 except for the programming language of course.

Many years ago, I heard Philip Khan mention at a talk to 
Houston HALPC group, that Borland was looking into
making a Delphi for the Mac. <g>

Hello John,

I see the last year that a lot of people are moving from Windows XP to 
Leopard. I hope that CodeGear will follow this move too, now that Vista 
SP1 has failed.
