Hello John,

which branch of Zeos do you use? Zeos 7.2 or Zeos 7.3 or Zeos trunk?
Best regards,

Jan

sorry, i used trunk

RapidSVN tells me: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/zeoslib/code-0/trunk

Hmmm - the only one, I didn't check. I suggest you use Zeos 7.2 if you don't need OleDB or ODBC. If you need OleDB or ODBC use Zeos 7.3. All development happens there. Trunk usually lags behind Zeos 7.3.

The Forums cannot send e-mails because of some changes in Sourceforge.

Hmm, that function was made by me but IDK why compiler wants Ansistring as a result.

[JohnML1]

even if i try
zeosdbo-7.2.4-stable.zip

i get the known error as shown in screen picture!

Hello Fr0st, John

Hmm, that function was made by me but IDK why compiler wants Ansistring as a result.

Shouldn't String and AnsiString be the same in FPC? So it might just be that FPC tells you it wants to return AnsiString because String is an alias for AnsiString?

@John:
Your compiler tries to compile the Zeos 7.2 ZComponent package but on the bottom of your image it tries to recompile ZCore from Zeos 7.3. Could you please try to uninstall previous Zeos versions from your Lazarus and maybe rename the Zeos 7.3 directory?

Best regards,

Jan

now its ok compiling for Linux :-)

I used zeosdbo-7.2.4-stable.zip AND a fresh lazarus.

My first try leads to the situation that lazarus uses old uninstalled(!!) ZeosLib units despite the different Version Number of the package!

Lazarus is rather "tricky" sometimes.

Conclusion: Zeosdbo 7.2.4 can be compiled for Linux (Manjaro, Arch-Linux)

Do i take version 7.2.4?

But the problem with trunk-version still exists?!!

changed to 7.2 stable, everything is ok now :-)

Do i take version 7.2.4?

Yes, because it is the current stable version, where we do bugfixes only.

But the problem with trunk-version still exists?!!

Most probably yes. I will check that later on.

Soo - I checked that. On my Debian system using fpc 3.0.0 and Lazarus 1.6 things seem to work as expected. I am not 100% confident in the lazarus handling of packages though...

what i learned for lazarus:

start it with new configuration:

./lazarus --pcp=~/.lazarus2

... should(!) forget old installed packages this way?!!

Hello John,

Egonhugeist found an issue with the Zeos 7.3 code. So the problem should be solved now. A fix for Zeos 7.2 will follow. The issue was a slightly different declaration of the function in the interface section versus the implementation section.

Best regards,

Jan
