Hi, Many Delphi components are sold as "full source code", or slightly cheaper (or as trial) as compiled *.DCU files for a specific Delphi version. Could this work with FPC too? Can I release commercial components as PPU files for say FPC 2.6.0 (knowing that those PPU's will not work with any other version of FPC). The only supported compilers will be the officially released versions.
That should work.
My concern are platforms like Linux, FreeBSD, where the official release is often is source code format. Would it matter if they compile there own FPC 2.6.0 release, and would my PPU's still work in that case?
That will most probably not work, although maybe -Ur may provide a solution. It is a discussion I have had several times, and usually the result was negative. As soon as any of the dependencies is recompiled, there are problems.
