Error installing zeos components

[gelinp]

Hi,

Installing zeos zcomponent v7.2 component,  I've got the error message (in french) :

ZDbcAdo.pas(136,21) Fatal: Impossible de trouver l'unité ZDbcAdoMetaData utilisé par ZDbcAdo du paquet zdbc.

I don't understand because Lazarus show me zdpc component is already installed... May be Lazarus need to recompile and link one more time. Also zdbc compile withour any problem, but I can't desinstall it because of the same problem...

So what is the problem and where do I find ZDbcAdoMetaData unit ?

My configuration is Linux Debian Jessie, and Lazarus 1.4.4 with FPC 2.6.4

Thank you for your help !

ADO is possible only in the Windows 32/64.
In Linux to connect by ZEOS to MSSQL, you can use freetds.

Finaly Zeos run under linux. But I had to compil starting lazarus with kdesudo, because of lazarus installation under /usr/... root only directory.

Why install in this directory? Are there more people who works with the same linux server.

I don't remember how I installed lazarus, may be it was a debian package and I couldn't choose the location... I suppose I din't choose this repository, because I Install often tiers applications into /opt directory.

What is ADO exactly ? A framework used by zeos to connect databases ? Do I need to install a specific ADO package in order to compil zeos for windows target (there is no ADO files into zeos/lib directory) ?

What to do if would like to use freetds ? For Freetds I can read into readme file into zeos/lib directory :

1. All Lazarus controls assume all strings are UTF8Encoded which the MsSQL Servers do not understand.
2. So we need a compiled FreeTDS version with libiconv2.dll
3. Downloadlink: ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/fpc/contrib/windows/
4. Use TZConnection.LibraryLocation := 'dblib.dll'; to load the right library.
5. Actually we are looking for somebody who can compile the FreeTDS lib with the StoredProc functions.
6. Actually we do NOT support Strored procedures/functions with the FreeTDS library.

So, it looks like freetds is not delivered with zeos...
