Firebird components

[knightcoder]

Hi,

I was trying to convert a Delphi 5 database (Firebird) application to Lazarus, and tried using UIB, but its way to different from IBX I was using with delphi, so I tried the default Interbase components shipped with lazarus and it still needs some feauters like the parameter property and ParamByName.

I'm developing a TIBUpdateSQL component and need some help with the TIBQuery component with the properties mentioned above.
Anybody interested in helping?
This way we could at least have a working solution for Firebird databases in Lazarus.

Regards

there, the error messages are more descriptive.

if you are in windows using the windows installer, there is a change that  you will not see too much messages. You can do the following in a dos box in the lazarus directory.

lazarus --debug-log=debug.txt

of if you prefer to use startlazarus then do:
set lazarus_debuglog=debug.txt
startlazarus

after trying to compile, exit lazarus and look in the debug.txt if there is more information. Post your findings

oops, the firsts lines didn't make it in the message they should read:
usually there are more information in the error messages
examples of what is usually available are:

Have a look at this documentation. It explains how to install packages. Just replace the path and lpk file with and the path to fblib.lpk.
