Is it possible to work in Delphi on Linux and create W applications? I have an ubunt 11.04, I need to write an application for Windows on Delfnyak. Can anyone have any thoughts as a shell to put?

Lazarus + FreePascal
- Yes, I already read about it. It is interesting whether the components of the tool will look modern or square. In addition, whether the creation of an executable? - new_russian_man September
- Lazarus / Fripascal has such a slogan - it is written once, compiled everywhere. How to build Linux for Windows - wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/… - KoVadim
Globally, there are three options:
- virtual machine with Windows, in it Delphi is native. From virtualok I recommend virtualbox (free), vmware (commercial) and parallels (especially good for mac).
- Delphi launch via wine emulator. Support status see here.
- use similar Delphi nos. For example, Lazarus
All those who mentioned any option plus. I tried all the options myself.
I can add on my own that no one interferes with the presence of a windows-computer with network access, connect to it via the RDP interface and sit remotely on it. And writing programs in Delphi - what difference does it make: are they running locally or via remote desktop !?
Somewhere I read how the craftsmen put the old versions of the dolphins under Vain and seemed to even work for them.

Oracle Virtualbox will save the world.
Vine will not save the world, but it may help a little.

- by no means. I have: Edobovsky Dream under a virtualka works faster than the native son of Eclipse. So it goes. And Windows does not allow to put on a computer the "security policy of the company." And figs with them - knes

- oneYou can write, you have to compile anyway in win .. Since you are sitting on Linux, just write for it .. - Ivlev Denis
There is another little-known cross-platform environment similar to Delphi - MseIDE and MseGNU, but with very little Russian literature, it works with the Free Pascal compiler. Installation information can be found at http://freepascal.ru/ . I have not tried to write anything in it yet. Embarcadero recently announced the release of the new Rad Studio XE 2 environment, there you can write for several platforms, but nothing seemed to be said about Linux.
