Revision as of 16:56, 30 April 2015

Description

A Pascal compiler for 32-bit and 64-bit CPU architectures such as Intel 32/64 bit, AMD 32/64 bit, SPARC, PowerPC and Intel ARM. It is language compatible with Turbo Pascal, Delphi (up to version 7), and partly compatible with Metrowerks Pascal and ISO Pascal. It supports a number of operating systems including DOS, Linux, Windows, OS/2, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, Novell Netware, Mac OS classic, Mac OS X and MorphOS.

It comes with a cross-platform Run-Time Library, many interfaces to existing libraries, and a large set of non-visual classes in the Free Component Library. Last but not least, a text-mode IDE exists on various platforms, and FPC comes with 1800 pages of documentation.

The Run-Time code is licensed under a modified version of the Library General Public License, which allows to use it in closed source commercial applications.
