As I mentioned in my last post about the VirtualTree I will today show how to move the Orpheus component suite to RAD Studio XE5.<\/p>\n
But before I have to mention that I got a special permission from Embarcadero<\/a> to show my experiences with the RAD Studio XE5 product.<\/p>\n RAD Studio XE5 is the brand new product from Embarcadero<\/a> that allows native development for the the Win32, Win64, OS X, iOS and Android<\/a> platform. Okay, let\u2019s come back to Orpheus. Orpheus has originally been written by the great TurboPower<\/a> company that closed on January 7, 2003. Today, 10 years later a lot of applications still use their code.<\/p>\n Orpheus is now released under the Mozilla 1.1 license<\/a> and it is hosted at SourceForge<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’ve chosen Orpheus for my test with RAD Studio XE5 because it is originally written for Delphi 1. This means that I would like to prove that RAD Studio XE5 is compatible to old Delphi versions.<\/p>\n Like moving the VirtualTree to RAD Studio XE5 I checked out the latest version, copied the “Delphi XE4” folder and renamed it. After that I opened the “Orpheus Delphi XE4.groupproj” and also renamed it. Then again I changed the suffix from 18 to 19 and clicked on compile. And everything compiled without a single change of code!<\/p>\n Again, RAD Studio XE5 is compatible to very old code, I guess that it will be easy to recompile all my Delphi projects.<\/p>\n In the next session I will migrate another TurboPower library to RAD Studio XE5, the compressing library Abbrevia. So stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I mentioned in my last post about the VirtualTree I will today show how to move the Orpheus component suite to RAD Studio XE5.

\nJim McKeeth<\/a> and Marco Cantu<\/a> have written some nice examples about how to share the code between iOS and Android.
\nYou can get more information about Android and RAD Studio at Embarcadero<\/a>.
