  1. This is the MySQL interface of Free Pascal.
  2. You need at least compiler version 0.99.8 to compile this.
  3. To Compile under Linux
  4. - You must know where the mysql libraries are.
  5. - You must know where libgcc is.
  6. Both these things must be set in the Makefile. After that a simple 'make'
  7. and 'make install' should compile and install everything.
  8. You can test with 'make test', but this supposes that there is a 'testdb'
  9. database available. If not, you must run
  10. mkdb databasename
  11. testdb databasename
  12. rmdb databasename
  13. manually. You need create permission on the database for this to work.
  14. Redhat 5.1 and later users: You must ADD to the path the location of the
  15. libc5 libraries. It will NOT work with glibc 6. I hope to fix this in the
  16. future.
  17. Win32 users: There are multiple .dll files circulating around.
  18. you should fix the statement
  19. mysqllib = 'libmysql'
  20. in the mysql unit, so it matches the version you have.
  21. Enjoy !
  22. Michael.
