Zeoslib Portal

Hi

I can use successfully ZeosLib on MAC OS/X with applications created by Lazarus.

However, installation is a little complex for non technical end users, and difficult to automate, because MySql drivers for OS/X are named, for example,libmysqlclient.18.dylib instead of libmysqlclient.dylib.18 expected by ZPlainMySqlDriver.pas (they are libmysql.so.18 on linux).

Is it possible to add code to handle this OS/X particularity in the 7.2 version ?

I could do it myself, but will not be able to test this with Delphi and the OS it supports, since I have not bought it.

By the way, see my previous post about MySql 5.7 which should be added too.

Best regards

Hello tintinux,

it should be no problem to modify that behabiour in Zeos 7.2 and Zeos 7.1. Couls you plkease help me out with ifdefs for OS/X?
With best regards,

Hi

I have just discovered a bug on 7.2, I will make a topic for it, but first I went back to 7.1.4 to finish this subject.

OK, I will send you as soon as possible a MySqlDriver.pas tested on OSX, Windows and Linux.

Best regards

Hi

Attached is an update of ZPlainMySqlDriver with more libraries :

• * search for version specific drivers for MySql 5.6 and 5.7 on all systems
  * search for 2 generic drivers (mariadb and libmysqlclient) on Linux and Mac OS/X (libmysqlclient has unfortunately been removed)
  * search for correct driver names used on Mac OS/X ( libmysqlclient.nn.dylib instead of libmysqlclient.dylib.nn previously, like on Linux)

it can be compiled by LAZARUS and it is working on Windows 8, Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and OS/X 10.6, with various driver names. It was not tested with DELPHI.

Despite this thread was started in 7.2 -betatest forum, the file is for Zeos 7.1.4. An admin could move the topic...

It should not be difficult to make the same for Zeos 7.2, but currently I can't.

The update is rather "bestial"... suitable for a stable or rc version.

In a next beta, maybe we could write this in a lighter and more optimized way, avoiding the large number of constants and the repetitions for different OS...

I hope this helps

Best regards
