Installing MyDAC 8 on Lazarus

Post by jkuiper2105 » Wed 18 Sep 2013 14:18

I want to test MyDAC on my Lazarus 1.0.12. Downloaded MyDAC.
But I don't know the order of the packages. The PDF tells:

Installation of MyDAC from sources is described in the supplied ReadMeSrc.txt file.

This file is not in the zip.
What is the correct order to install MyDAC fully?

Hello.

1) In newer versions of MyDAC the ReadmeSrc.txt is replaced with the ReadmeSrc.html file.

2) If you use edition with source code:
Open %MyDAC%\Source\Lazarus1\dclmydac10.lpk file in Lazarus and press the Compile button. After that press Install button.

3) If you use trial edition:
Open %MyDAC%\Source\Lazarus1\dclmydac10.lpk file in Lazarus and press the Install button. Do not press the the Compile button for the package. Compiling will fail because there are no MyDAC sources.
Today we have released a new version of MyDAC (8.1.3), it is compatible with Lazarus 1.0.12.
