Hi This question has obviously been asked many times before, but I am having trouble dealing with the answers.
I run MariaDB, rather than MYSQL, using OpenSUSE 13.2, with Lazarus 1.4, Free Pascal 2.6.4, downloaded from Sourceforge. I have the usual issue getting a database connection: "TMySQL56Connection can not work with the installed MySQL client version: Expected (5.6), got (10.0.13-MariaDB)" There's a diff associated with the bug report at http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26620 which I have attempted to apply, without success. What I tried was: - patch /usr/share/fpsrc/2.6.4/packages/fcl-db/src/sqldb/mysql/mysqlconn.inc as in the diff - rebuilt, using the Makefile in that directory - within Lazarus, rebuilt the IDE. This hasn't achieved anything. I get the same error, which presumably means I have missed out some steps. I'm starting to find the documentation wiki "a mass of twisted passages, all alike". Is there a simple explanation of what I have missed? TIA Susie --- Susie Nichol Christchurch, New Zealand.
