Can I use Zeoslib from FMX?

[Yogi Yang]

Hello,

Is there a possibility for me to use Zeoslib in my FireMonkey application?

I am planning to develop desktop applications for Windows and Linux.

If yes then what have I to take into consideration for different platforms?

TIA

I am personally not using FMX however not that long ago 7.3 (which is 8 now) was compiling on Linux64 platform too, see this post & thread. For it to do so a small change was necessary in the library loading code which I'm not sure was merged back to the 7.x series. Also, there could have been lots of changes which broke Linux compatibility as there are no Linux tests yet.

What I advise is simply to try if it works. If it does not, try with v8. If that does not work either please let us know :)

Zeos 8 works for FMX on Android - I do have a small app working there. It should also work for FMX on Linux.

Zeos 7.2 on LInux is another beast. It works on LInux for FPC. But I am not sure if the Linux compilers by Embarcadero support all necessary data types to get Zeos 7.2 to compile.

So my advice is to start your project with Zeos 8.

@aehimself and @marsupilami,

Thank you very much for the information.

I will try my hands on Zeos 8.
