Hello
I read the PDF to install the latest ZeosLib into Delphi 2007, and have a couple of questions:
1. The PDF mentions "ZeosDbo.groupproj", but not "ZeosDboDev.groupproj" and "ZPlain.bdsproj": What are those two project files for?
2. The PDF says that after compiling all components that make up ZeosDbo.groupproj, we should compile/install "ZComponentDesign" (available both as .dpk and .dproj), but this package is already part of ZeosDbo.groupproj: Does it mean that this second step is actually not needed?
3. By any chance, does someone have a working Zeos.inc that only includes support for SQLite, so that I don't make any mistake removing support for the other DBMS's that I don't need?
Thank you.

1. ZeosDbo.groupproj targeds zeos "users" and ZeosDboDev.groupproj is oriented to zeos developers - it contains additional projects which are used to test zeos itself.
2. ZeosDbo.groupproj contains ZComponentsDesing.(dpk|dproj) so, yes - second step is not needed.
If you often recompiling zeos (as I do), you may safe yourself some time with additional tools. See here: http://zeos.firmos.at/viewtopic.php?t=2301
N.B. Don't look at *.dpk and *.dproj as different packages, they are more like opposite edges of same blade.
3. Don't have it, but i can easily make one for you if your are unsure...

Point 2: This sentence was added to indicate the need to INSTALL only the ZComponentDesign packages, which isn't needed for the other packages that only must be compiled. Somebody wants to write a better formulation? Just post it as a reply to this mail and I'll change the pdf. (for the more xml-minded people : please edit the ..\documentation\articles\installation\installation.xml file, that saves me some work 
)
Point 3 : it should be as easy as changing all {$DEFINE ENABLE_XXXXX} lines to {.$DEFINE ENABLE_XXXXX} (except for the SQLite line)
Or you could add
at the top of your zeos.inc file.
When the zeoslib sources are in your search path you can also do this on a per project base by adding these DEFINE's to your project options. Last solution is the most flexible one, but then you must know what you're (and delphi is) doing.

{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_DBLIB}
{$DEFINE ZEOS_DISABLE_ADO}
