The general case:

- Quite FPC compatible, except for some interface problems in jclscheduler
  and the fact that jclpeimage combines all kinds of compiler specific parts
  (like poking in debug info)
- ... but mostly win32/x86 only. Parts _maybe_ win64.

That library uses every dirty trick in the book.

Start identifying what JCF uses exactly from it, and try to substitute (or
wrap) parts of it.
