Free Delphi & Pascal Compilers                           


 
Borland Delphi 6 Personal Edition New
Yes - this is the real Borland Delphi compiler from Borland themselves! The personal edition of the Borland Delphi compiler can be used to create non-commercial Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000 applications. Besides the drag and drop visual development environment of Delphi, you also get a Visual Component Library (VCL) with more than 85 reusable components. (Note: Borland tends to change the URL to their pages every now and then. If the above link breaks, please let me know.)
 
Borland Kylix Open Edition (Delphi for Linux) New
Looking for a visual development environment to develop Delphi applications for Linux? Why not get one straight from Borland themselves? Borland Kylix Open Edition is an IDE for Linux that compiles Delphi programs. Applications generated by Kylix are native Linux applications that do not depend on third party software like Wine, etc. A native Linux Visual Component Library (VCL), called CLX, is also available (under the GNU General Public License). All applications developed with the Open Edition of Kylix are required to be under GPL.
 
PascalX Pascal Compiler
This Pascal compiler allows you to write your Pascal programs using keywords in either English or Portuguese (eg using "function" in English or "funcao" in Portuguese). It supports the Win32 platform (ie Windows 95, 98 or NT). It has recently been updated to include an integrated development environment (IDE) that attempts to provide useful information to help new Pascal programmers use the language, track syntax errors, etc.
 
Borland Turbo Pascal Compiler
Hard to believe? Well, the earlier versions of Borland's Turbo Pascal are now available FREE from Borland's website. If you are writing software for MSDOS, don't wait - get it now! (Note you may have to either click the "Anonymous login" button at the prompt or create a new login id. Then click the Museum link.)
 
Symantec Think Pascal Compiler
A version of Symantec's Think Pascal (now a discontinued product) is available from Symantec's website. It comes with no support from Symantec. Originally called Lightspeed Pascal, it generates 68k code, and has what some people regard as an outstanding debugger. If you need information on how to set it up, check out Ingemar's Guide to Think Pascal.
 
E1ProgPascal51 Pascal Cross-compiler and Extensions
E1ProgPascal51 is a Pascal cross-compiler for the Intel 8051 series of microcontrollers. It runs under MSDOS. The link above also has some extensions to the above compiler that provides string support, single character support, inline assembler support and external procedure support.
 
Bloodshed Dev-Pascal Pascal Compiler
According to its website, Dev-Pascal is a development environment which includes a Pascal compiler that allows you to create software using the Turbo Pascal language. It supports only the Win32 environment, and is free. The package includes a SETUP creator that allows you to include a SETUP program with your programs.
 
Virtual Pascal Compiler
This compiler handles code that is compatible with Borland Pascal and Borland Delphi 2. It has a run-time library, an optimizing compiler, built-in linker, integrated development environment, an integrated debugger, various utilities, patches for third party libraries (Delphi, TurboPower), examples, and online documentation. Platforms supported include Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT/2000), OS/2 and Linux (experimental support). Really looks like it's worth investigating.
 
GNU Pascal Compiler
This 32 bit Pascal compiler runs on Win32, DOS, OS/2 and most Unix systems. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License. I'm not sure how this affects your programs, though. Based on the program's website, the compiler supports the following language standards: ISO-7185 Standard Pascal, most of ISO-10206 Extended Pascal, and most of Borland Pascal 7.0.
 
P4 Pascal Compiler
You can find the public domain source code of a Pascal compiler and interpreter. The system is written in Pascal itself, and only the source code is provided, which means that you need to have a Pascal compiler before you can use it. The compiler generates an intermediate p-code which is then interpreted by the p-code interpreter. If you do not have a Pascal compiler, you have a choice of getting their C translation of the compiler (which means you must have a C compiler) or handtranslating their precompiled pcode of the compiler.
 
P2C Pascal Cross-Compiler
P2C is a Pascal cross compiler that produces assembler code for the PIC and Scenix microchip processor families. The compiler itself runs under Windows 95, MSDOS and Linux.
 
Pascal Pro Pascal Compiler
This Pascal compiler is a 32 bit compiler that generates code for DOS. It has a number of extensions to the Pascal language, including function, operator and procedure overloading. It comes with source code, and generates assembly code that requires TASM or MASM to assemble. You will also need to download the (free) WDOSX dos extender (see the Free DOS Extenders page for more information about WDOSX).
 
Free Pascal (formerly FPK Pascal) Compiler
This is a Pascal compiler that generates native code for a number of platforms (such as Win32, MSDOS, Linux, OS/2, Amiga OS). It supports most of the Borland Pascal 7.0 dialect along with some extensions used by Delphi. According to the home page, it also supports function overloading and other such features. The package comes with sources for the compiler, which is itself written in Pascal. According to the program's website, the program comes under a "modified" GNU Public License to allow linking with static libraries when creating DOS programs. You have to read the documentation yourself to find out whether you can actually produce commercial programs without releasing your program source code. You can use it to compile your Delphi programs with the help of Lazarus, a free class library designed for this compiler.
 
DPAS Pascal Compiler
A compiler that supports a number of Standard Pascal constructs plus some additional constructs. At present, it still does not support floating point, records, and enumeration types (and perhaps other things as well). It generates a 32 bit DOS executable, and it comes with a DOS extender and protected mode debugger.
 
TMT Pascal Compiler
Here is another 32 bit compiler that allows you to compile the Borland Pascal 7.0 dialect of Pascal for MSDOS. It also supports operator overloading. It requires a DOS extender, and will work with a number of freeware DOS extenders. (For more information about DOS extenders, see the Free DOS Extenders page.) The free version of this Pascal compiler does not allow you to compile applications with a combined data+code+heap size in excess of 1.5MB. You are also not allowed to develop commercial applications with the free version.

Vector Pascal New
This Pascal compiler is "targeted at SMID instruction sets such as the MMX and the AMD 3D Now!" It also performs optimizations such as parallel vector operations, loop unrolling and common sub-expression elimination. Binaries are available for Windows and Linux. The source code is also available.
