Hello,
I'd like to start a new life (after Delphi) with Lazarus IDE but
got into trouble with basic Firebird connection procedure :( Error
message: Cannot load default Firebird clients (fbembed.dll or
gds32.dll) ??
System Win7,64bit,home Firebird 2.5/32bit installed on local
machine from zip package; database located on local machine Lazarus
32bit, 0.9.30.4
Any hints ?
First, make sure that fbclient.dll is in the PATH
Ah yes, that's of course a neat solution for a dev PC... hadn't thought
about that ;)
It must be true on a client PC as well.
Then, try adding InitialiseIBase60('fbclient.dll'); as the first line
in your program source.
AFAIU, via fpc\packages\ibase\src\ibase60.inc, fbclient.dll should be
searched automatically, as well as gds32.dll; in newer FPC (at least
since revision 20112) fbembed.dll would be searched (though
unfortunately not first in the sequence)
Wouldn't InitialiseIBase60 be superfluous?
That's why I added 'then'. It's only the second option.
Michael.
