connecting to mariadb
« on: December 12, 2025, 03:43:04 pm »
I have installed Lazarus Pascal on macos Tahoe .  I have also mariadb, installed on the same machine via homebrew, which works in terminal mode.  I also have a pascal project, created in an earlier vision of Lazarus Pascal, which successfully connected to a mariadb database.  When I tried to replicate the earlier pascal program in the newer version of pascal on the macOS Tahoe it always fails to connect to the database, with the message 'can not load the default MySQl library (\"libmysqlclient.dylib20\" or \"libmysqlclient.dylib\"). Check your installation.  Given it's a new clean installation (via fpcupdeluxe).  Is this a problem of the latest version of Lazarus Pascal or the method of installation.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

mysqlclient is an external requirement. It might be that the older version finds an older library (e.g. x86), and that your new build is in arm.

Try to verify target architecture of the old binary and new binary. (e.g. with the file command)

the installation of Lazarus Pascal and mariadb are on a new new computer running Mac Tahoe.  The test to connect to mariadb via pascal was all with new project.  Therefore there should be no issue with old versions.

And have you also homebrewed the MySQL-Client-Lib?

can you find "libmysqlclient.dylib20" or "libmysqlclient.dylib" by hand?

I was unable to find either libmysqlclient.dylib20" or "libmysqlclient.dylib.

Trying to homebrew MySQL-Client-Lib gave no results

?!?!?

https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql-client

Though not sure, to what extent MySQL 9.5 Client is supported by our MySQL-Connection-Class
Maybe one of the older Versions on that page (8.0.44 or 8.4.7)
