mdaems it is correct? If is correct please make this modification to SVN

Hi Dorin,

Did you check this? It's a good proposal. Problem is finding the time to do it. For another month my home PC will be locked away during the evening as my kids sleep in the same room. (House renewal works going on).

If you send the changes as a patch (for all packages, please) I can do it a little quicker.
I write it to the todo list I'm keeping.

Mark

I check this. With tools make diff file for send you changes as a patch.

Dorin,

I just did the changes for D7. Maybe you better wait a little until I commit this change.

Mark

Dorin,

I have already changed zeos.inc to use Firebird only. This has reduced my exe size by around 1MB.

After applying your changes to the ZPlain.dpk the resulting ZPlain.bpl is much smaller, off cause since only Interbase / Firebird related files are included.

BUT my re-compiled exe (build) has still the same size - up to the last byte.
I think the Delphi linker links only the required functions to the exe, so your change has no effect.


I use Zeos 6.5.1 with Delphi 7 pro

Well, I did not check that... Nice you tell us.

But for those who follow the changes we're doing : For D7 we have split the components packages into a designtime package and a runtime package as someusers want to use the bpl's to distribute with their apps. For those people those changes are a nice thing to have, of course.

Also, I'm not sure the fpc compiler and linker are so smart they can do this trick of linking only the necessary functions.

I did change those two thing (split+ this threads proposal) to the D7 packages. (revisions 100 and 101) Who wants to do this for the other compilers? Please drop a notehere when you start for yours... and include the patch (SVN diff, please) afterwards. It could be a nice copy-paste job, I think.
I just don't have the compilers and time to do it myself.

Hello again,

I had a look at the lazarus packages, but there I don't know how I can put the different units in the package between {$IFDEF} directives.
Is that possible or should we change all units with these IFDEFs at the second line and the ENDIFs before the 'END.' line? A lot of work, but that way we would not have to change all packages anymore.
Who knows more about it?

Mark
