Long ago I have worked with Turbo Pascal 7 in a DOS environment. Now after many years I want to use Pascal again. I have installed Lazarus on my Debian system and had some success with initial short routines trying to refresh my old skills and trying to cope with all the changes.
I want to develop a command line program which can communicate with a PostgreSQL server. There are two example programs with a Makefile in /usr/share/doc/fp-units-db/2.6.0/examples/postgres/ and /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.6.0/packages/postgres/examples/ which compiles if I use make. But when I try to use either of those programs in Lazarus or try to compile it with fpc from the command line I get the message Fatal: Can't find unit postgres used by testpg I see there is a button for database connections when developing gui-products and that it does not use the postgres unit but rather something like pqconnection. When I put that in the above file in Lazarus I get Fatal: Can't find unit contnrs used by Masks I have also tried to add /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.6.0/packages/postgres /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/postgres /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.6.0/packages/postgres to the environment options/path editor of Lazarus, but that did not make any difference. How do I go forward from here? Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)
