Zeoslib Portal

I heard there is a patch to allow zeosdbo connect to 64 bit mysql servers. Where will I find it?

Not sure if that exists for the 6.6 series... When using zeos 7.x your programs should work correctly on a 64 bit machine an a 64 bit compiler (only fpc, I think) when using a 64 bit libmysql version.
Attention : you talk about '64 bit mysql servers'. Zeoslib only cares about the client dll/so version.

I tried installing 7.0 on my Mint System. It won't connect to the server. Yes I am using 5.1 of mysql. Zeos 6.6.6 won't connect, I thought based on your message you could get 7.0 to connect. I guess I was overly optimistic. By the way Lazarus 9.30 won't even compile Zeos 7.

Did you try a recent 7.X version, eg from http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/snapshots/ ?
Also, make sure to match compiler and dll. When using fpc64 you need 64-bit mysql libraries. Otherwise you need a 32 -bit compiler and dll/so.

I see at forum, patches to make 6.6 work on 64 bits. I will check and merge the changes made in 7.0 to 6.6...

this version that are at sitada above, do not install the Lazarus 09.30.2
