I'm using the lastest DELPHI version 10.2.3 with LINUX support and I already managed to compile a console application using the platform LINUX 64 bit and execute this code on my UBUNTU client computer.
Now I wanted to convert a larger project for LINUX.
Question is now : for a exsting DLL which compiles fine for with WIN64, how to add now LINUX support, the add platform buttom in Delphi does not provide the LINUX 64 BIT platform for the existing project
It is not possible to add platform, that wasn't available, when project was created. To fix this, you will need to delete dproj-file and let IDE recreate it.

Is it possible to create Wince Setup in Winodws 10? If yes ther how,
Actually I want to build Eboot source code and create image for that.
how can we build this source code in windows 10.
Generally to build Windows CE source code you need Platform Builder.
This is a plugin for a specific version of Visual Studio.
CE6 - VS2005
CE7 - VS2008
CE2013 - VS2013/VS2015
If you plan to build for CE6 you'll have to install VS2005. I don't know if this is possible. For sure VS2008 works.
You can use a virtual machine running an older version of windows or, if you already have a WINCE600 folder backed up you can install VS2008 and Platform Builder and choose that folder as your CEROOT folder. This is not officially supported by MS (and will never be), but works for me and other people that needed to use old CE versions on a new PC.
I have installed Unity 3d on my Linux system.I have downloaded the Window version of the standard assets (.exe) since there is no option for installation in Linux, I tried installing the Standard assets(.exe) through wine... but im getting an error that unity requires windows 7 or more... But since this is Linux i cant help it.Is there any other way?
You can't expect .exe program to work on Linux out of the Box without the help of visual machine or some other software such as Wine. You don't even need the exe program to install the Standard Assets. You can get it directly from the Asset store from your Linux.
It's recommended that you use other OS at this time because the Linux version of Unity is still in experimental mode and you may have problems with it in the future.
You just download unity using the following link,
Unity 5.1 for Linux
It will contains standard asset also. Don't forget to select standard assets while installing.
Background:
Im using QT and have visual studio 2012 as my IDE (used the QT plugin for visual studio).
And finally the whole project is done. However due to my .NET background I have no experience when it comes to deploying my project so it can be run on Linux.
Question:
Anyone knowing how to deploy a QT project made in visual studio to linux?
You should install Linux and prepare a Qt development environment on it.You can then copy your project there, compile it and see the results in the real environment. This way you can cope with the minor differences when porting from one OS to another easily.
So don't think of cross compiling your app for Linux on Windows. From a complexity point of view, I think setting up a Linux machine (VM or not) and the necessary environment for Qt is a whole lot simpler than cross compiling bug hunting afterwards. After all you will need a real target environment to finally test your application.
Before you can deploy something you have to compile it for that platform, and here you have two main choiches: either you cross-compile which means you compile it on windows using a set of tools so that your software is built to run on a linux, or you get a linux machine, you copy your entire project over and let Qt for linux do the magic.
Once you have your working binary compiled on linux or for linux then you start thnking about deployoment.
If you really want to be fully linux-compatible and "linux-ally correct" you should distribute your source-code precooked using some tools like "automake" that will make it possible to linux users to compile it on any linux version.
If you do not want to release your source code, you technically can distribute binaries without source code (not sure if you will be ok with licenses) but you have to be aware that there is no standard in linux for distributing binary packages, there are at least 2 main package building standards that are the ubuntu/debian style and red hat (and friends) style.
You are going to find plenty of documentation about all this stuff from cross-compile to automake and of course building debian packages and building red hat rpm packages.
I have a Qt application which I built on Linux. I would like to run the same application on Windows. Is it possible? If yes, how? The Qt application software that I downloaded and used, is version 4.7.4.
Is it possible? If yes, how?
Yes, it is possible if the application is cross-compiled for Windows target on Linux.
You would need to have the mingw compiler installed on the Linux box when building the application for Windows. You would also need to make sure to use the proper `-mkspec- option for qmake.
If this is missed while building the application on Linux, it is probably not cross-compiling, so you would not be able to run the code on Windows off-hand unless you have a virtual machine installed for Linux, in which case you could do it, for sure.
You can install a Windows alongside your Linux and install VS2010 and Qt 4.8.* libraries for windows and compile your project there. You may need to make some changes to your source code in order to be compatible with Qt 4.8.* .
Is it possible to write a simple native executable, which can be run in Windows Linux and Mac OSX and the only thing it will do is to check what is the system and run adequate (another) program compiled for this platform?
I want simply to create an installer, which user will download independently of the platform he is using, which will automaticaly discover the platform and unpack (from itself) installer for this particular platform.
