Kylix is a compiler and integrated development environment formerly sold by Borland but later discontinued. It is a Linux version of both Delphi and C++ Builder, which run under Microsoft Windows. Continuing Delphi's classical Greek theme, Kylix is named for an ancient Greek drinking cup. The equivalent to Kylix is the open source Lazarus IDE, which makes use of the Free Pascal compiler and is designed to be code-compatible with Delphi. Some attempts were made to get Delphi (for Windows) to cross-compile Linux applications, but they have mostly been discontinued.
