lazarus / 16-Databases

Using a fresh install of Laz 0.9.10 (latest stable version) I was able
to install ZeosLib dated 13 Oct 05.  First fix the following bugs in
ZeosLib:

1. Change ZplainPostgreSql81.pas to ZPlanPostgresSql8x.pas in
zplain.lpk

<Item22>
<Filename Value="../../src/plain/ZPlainPostgreSql81.pas"/>
<UnitName Value="ZPlainPostgreSql8x"/>
</Item22>

2. Fix the following typos in zdbc.lpk:

a. Remove extra "/" from "build/"
<SearchPaths>
<OtherUnitFiles Value="../../src/dbc/"/>
<UnitOutputDirectory Value="build"/>
</SearchPaths>

b. Add missing slash to unitname value

<Item43>
<Filename Value="../../src/dbc/ZDbcASA.pas"/>
<UnitName Value="ZDbcASA/>
</Item43>

Now,  here are the installation instructions:

With Lazarus, open each of the zeos packages via Components/Open
Package File in the following order:

zcore.lpk
zparsesql.lpk
zplain.lpk
zdbc.lpk

Then finally open zcomponent.lpk and compile and install this package.

Note: The first four packages only need to be compiled and cannot be
installed.

First I had to copy the "zeoslib/package" directory under
C:\lazarus\components
otherwise lazarus.exe could not be rebuilt.

You could remedy this by adding the path to your zeoslib directory to
the lazarus searh path.

Ok, total noob here.  How does one edit the lazarus search path?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
matthijs · 2005-11-12 14:31

Go to Project -> Compiler Options and add the path to the Libraries
path.

Sorry, but I use Linux (Ubuntu 5.10), I istalled Lazarus 0.9.10 and
mySql, but I can't install the ZeosLib.
When I Installed ZCore it's all Ok, ZParseSql it's Ok, but when I
Installed zPlain I have an error "Can't find unit ZPlainPostgreSql81,
in effect I don't have this file, but I have ZPlainPostgreSql8x.pas.
Can you Help me?

P.S. Sorry for my english

The files zcore.lpk, zparsesql.lpk, zplain.lpk, zdbc.lpk are ok.
The problem now is zcomponent.lpk, I can't compile this file, the
errors are  that I have 4 methods with "There is no method in an
ancestor class to be overriden"
Why

Nov 13, 2005

Can anyboby help?

Which is your FPC Version?
I resolved it changing FPC version from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1

----------------------------------------------------------------------
paulochico · 2005-11-27 18:02

Thank you for your (very) quick answer.

Lazarus was installed with the following files:
  fpc-2.0.1-050923.src.rpm
  fpcsrc-2.0.1-050923.src.rpm
  lazarus-0.9.10-0.src.rpm

But I had installed, prior to Lazarus , a fpc version from the file
fpc-2.0.0.i386-linux.tar (in http://www.freepascal.org).
I'll try to solve this conflict and i'm sure i'll get Zeos Components
ok.

Hi, thanks for your instructions, got it to work right now. the only
thing is that it is as stable as .... :-)
compiling al .lpk files went smooth, except for the zdbc.lpk. there
were a lot of warnings in the messages window. is this normal?

thanks in advance

I typicaly see a lot of of warnings myself. I just ignore the majority
of them. It's the errors that stop compilation that you have to worry
about.

I'm trying to install Zeos library in Lazarus over Windows XP.

I could open, compile and install all packages unless zdbc.lpk, it
says, "I could not open the file .... /packages/lazarus/zdbc.lpk" I
edited it like I saw in this page and try some times and crash. I
tried too with the cvs version but it's the same. The file of couse
exists, and have the same rights and permission that others... but It
couldn't be readed by Lazarus.

what's happend? I have the last FPC and the last Lazarus.

it from the menu it crash.. but if I open it from the file explorer
(double click or usin open with) it runs cool, compile and install...
