Hi,

Installing zeos zcomponent v7.2 component,  I've got the error message
(in french) :

ZDbcAdo.pas(136,21) Fatal: Impossible de trouver l'unité
ZDbcAdoMetaData utilisé par ZDbcAdo du paquet zdbc.

I don't understand because Lazarus show me zdpc component is already
installed... May be Lazarus need to recompile and link one more time.
Also zdbc compile withour any problem, but I can't desinstall it
because of the same problem...

So what is the problem and where do I find ZDbcAdoMetaData unit ?

My configuration is Linux Debian Jessie, and Lazarus 1.4.4 with FPC
2.6.4

Thank you for your help !

ADO is possible only in the Windows 32/64.
In Linux to connect by ZEOS to MSSQL, you can use freetds.

Finaly Zeos run under linux. But I had to compil starting lazarus with
kdesudo, because of lazarus installation under /usr/... root only
directory.

Why install in this directory? Are there more people who works with
the same linux server.

I don't remember how I installed lazarus, may be it was a debian
package and I couldn't choose the location... I suppose I din't choose
this repository, because I Install often tiers applications into /opt
directory.

What is ADO exactly ? A framework used by zeos to connect databases ?
Do I need to install a specific ADO package in order to compil zeos
for windows target (there is no ADO files into zeos/lib directory) ?

What to do if would like to use freetds ? For Freetds I can read into
readme file into zeos/lib directory :

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i All Lazarus
controls assume all strings are UTF8Encoded which the MsSQL Servers do
not understand.So we need a compiled FreeTDS version with
libiconv2.dllDownloadlink:
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/contrib/windows/Use
TZConnection.LibraryLocation := 'dblib.dll'; to load the right
library.Actually we are looking for somebody who can compile the
FreeTDS lib with the StoredProc functions. Actually we do NOT support
Strored procedures/functions with the FreeTDS library.
So, it looks like freetds is not delivered with zeos...
