KSDev FMXLinux enables seamless development of Linux applications using Embarcadero Delphi and FireMonkey (FMX). With a focus on simplifying the cross-platform development process, KSDev FMXLinux allows developers to concentrate on building their FMX applications while effortlessly making them available on Linux.
The toolchain offered by FMXLinux includes two key components. Firstly, there's a runtime feature that introduces new implementations of FireMonkey specifically tailored for Linux. This runtime is intricately integrated with the native Linux runtime, ensuring a native look and feel with a high-quality Ubuntu as the default Linux style. Secondly, KSDev FMXLinux provides design-time management through an IDE expert, allowing developers to add Linux as a platform to their FMX projects and configure it seamlessly within the Delphi IDE.
Developers can code and debug their Linux applications directly within the Delphi IDE, utilizing all the features provided by RAD Studio. FMXLinux specifically functions with Embarcadero Delphi versions equipped with the Linux development add-on, starting from Tokyo and spanning across all subsequent Delphi releases. However, it's worth noting that may not operate optimally on certain Linux distributions, such as AstroLinux Smolensk 1.6 due to a non-standard version of GTK+, though compatibility tests are available for reference.
