[fpc-pascal] sqldb, oracle, and mac os x

2009-11-26 Thread Bee Jay

Hi all,

I'm writing a program which connects to a remote Oracle server using  
sqlDB (TOracleConnection). TOracleConnection keeps telling me that  
Oracle client library (libociei.dylib) is not yet installed. However,  
I'm pretty sure that it's already installed correctly since Oracle's  
SQLPlus is already able to connect to the remote database server.


I installed Oracle's Instant Client Basic Package and SQL*Plus Package  
from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/intel_macsoft.html 
 using the 32 bit version (I'm on Leopard Intel). Set the required  
symlinks and environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH,  
SQL_PATH) within /etc/profile, .bash_login, and environment.plist.  
Testing the installation using SQLPlus showed that SQLPlus is able to  
connect to an Oracle database.


I'm using FPC v.2.2.4 and Lazarus 9.29. This is my first experience  
accessing Oracle from Mac OS. I never had this kind of problem while  
on Linux (Ubuntu and CentOS).


Any hints? TIA.

Do you know where the lazarus program looks for the library ?  The oracle
support in sqlDB doesn't honor any of the variables you mention, so I
suspect that you should copy libociei.dylib from one of the oracle
directories to your program directory.

[fpc-pascal] Where do I contribute units to?

2009-11-26 Thread Wimpie Nortje

Hi all

I have translated a C header file for interfacing with a National 
Instruments data acquisition device. This is a standalone, independant 
unit which will rarely if ever change. It also has no dependancy on lazarus.


Where is the best place to put these kinds of files? The lazarus CCR? I 
had a look at the 'Contributed Units' page on FPC wiki but that page 
does not seem to be used a lot.


Thanks
Wimpie

I think it's best to put them on a personal website, and possibly  
create a wiki page about it on wiki.freepascal.org so that people can  
more easily find it.
