Installation of trial version in Lazarus on debian

[lepa]

I am trying to install the latest trial version on a machine that runs Debian testing, Lazarus 1.0.12 and FPC 2.6.2.
I succeeded on installing dclunidac10.lpk (i can see the UniDAC palette) but i had no luck on installing a single provider.

For example the result of the msprovider installation is:

msprovider10.pas(6,3) Fatal: Can not find unit SQLServerUniProvider used by msprovider10. Check if package msprovider10 is in the dependencies.

The procedure i followed is the same as the one i did for dclunidac10 but instead of dclunidac10.lpk i choose msprovider10.lpk (or myprovider or odbcprovider etc).

Any help?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Hello,

We plan to add MS SQL Server support for non-Windows platforms (Unix, Mac OS, iOS and Android) in one of the the next UniDAC version. For the time being, MS SQL Server is not supported in UniDAC for these platforms.

Good to know.

What about the other providers? I wasn't able to install in Lazarus any of the provider packages. Is there something wrong with the steps i follow?

[AlexP]

Providers are installed from separate packages: myprovider10.lpk, liteprovider10.lpk, etc. (ODBC driver is not supported for non-Windows platforms). If the described error occurs on installing the drivers, try adding the path to the lib folder of the corresponding platform in the package properties.

For some reason today i managed to install a few of them. In particulary i installed everything that did not need ODBC to be installed with them and now i know why:

...ODBC driver is not supported for non-Windows platforms)...

Will ODBC be supported in one of the next versions?

Looking forward for that:

...We plan to add MS SQL Server support for non-Windows platforms (Unix, Mac OS, iOS and Android) in one of the the next UniDAC version...

Thank you for your answers

One final question since we are on the subject. I'm trying to connect to an Oracle DB using the Direct Mode approach but i get a "Direct mode is not supported". Is that because i'm on a linux distribution or because of lazarus?

Thank you.

The Direct mode is not supported in Lazarus.
