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?
Compiling is not enough. Did you install the .ppu ?
Several ways are possible:
1. The clean way
That is, in /usr/share/fpsrc/2.6.4/packages/fcl-db you should run "make
install", as root.
But that may lead to other problems since you will have newer .ppu's of all
2. find the newly generated mysql56conn.ppu and mysql56conn.o, and just copy
these over the installed version
And then rebuild lazarus.
The simplest solution may be to:
3. Simply copy 2 files: mysql56conn.pp and mysqlconn.inc from
/usr/share/fpsrc/2.6.4/packages/fcl-db/src/sqldb/mysql to your project's
directory.
Recompile your project.
You will then not be able to make the connection in the lazarus form
designer, but the compiled program should then work.
