Zeoslib Portal

Hi all,

I'm new here and I'm having some dificults to install Zeus (6.5.1 alpha) in Delphi7.

I just checked other topics for this kind of intructions but couldn't find it.

I don't know if my DBMS version is a relevenat information, but is a Postgres 8.

If any of you have detailed instructions of how to do this, I'll be very glad to receive it.

Thanks!

Hello !

this is not the standard method (via bpg), but I like it
I'll try to keep it simple:

1- download and unpack the zip contents to a directory that you can remember
(I like to put it under delphi path\lib\zeos)

2- open delphi 7

3- using the file-open menu, open the folder you unpacked the contents and then the file \packages\delphi7\ZCore.dpk

4- click "compile" button and wait a bit

5- close it

6- repeat the steps 4 and 5 for the files ZParseSql.dpk, ZPlain.dpk, ZDbc.dpk, in that order
if there's and error with ZDbc compiling, note that the line before the error contains an ";" where it should be a single ","
switch it, if needed

7- do the same for the file called ZComponent.dpk, but now, after compiling, click on the install button
a message will popup telling you about sucess, or not

8- close all that stuff and open tools-environment options (in delphi IDE).
there, select the library sheet (on top), and then click the three dots button "..." at "library path" line end

9- click again in the three dots button, now there's only on in the screen. after, select the folder you unpacked all the stuff, then keep going until \packages\delphi7\build

10- select it, click in sequence: OK, Add, OK, OK

11- close whatever you had open and start a new project
a tab named "zeos" will be in the component pallete now

12- have fun !

vinny, if you can't install at all, add me at msn, may be we could talk portuguese or something

[]'s!

Thanks a lot!



That's all I needed!

I works just like you told. Just perfect.
