There is no path problem with the compiler. You probably have some release installed, which is why compiler could find the necessary pacakges/fcl units without you specifying where they were. Newer compilers may have an incompatible ppu format, which means they can't use the older compiled units anymore. They will then try to recompile those units, which is what you are seeing above.

You can work around the omissions in Lazarus' makefile by adding the appropriate units paths using make
OPT="-Fu/path/to/necessary/snapshot/units"

Hi all,

i have some fixes for the database implementation in FCL.

Changes in interbase.pp:
* Removed unused Fprepared
* Changed the error message 'database connect string not filled in' to 'database connect string (databasename) not filled in'
* Preparestatement and execute now checks if transaction is assigned (in stead of crashing if it isn't) and if the transaction isn't started, it calls starttransaction.

Changes in dataset.inc:
* In DoInternalOpen the buffers are now initialised before the dataset is set into browse-state

Changes in database.inc and db.pp:
* If the dataset is created from a stream, the database is opened after the dataset is read completely

The snap should contain the latest units!???

It does, but they don't overwrite the units installed by your release (not under *nix anyway, I don't know about the win32 version). As such, the new compiler is probably still trying to use old units.

Ok, since my development-machine had no internet-connection i've made the patch files myself, but the database.diff wasn't correct. Here are the right ones.

Hi all,

I can't compile the current CVS version? There's a problem in fcl/db/dbase. It won't compile and then a 'make install' fails...

Thank you. Reviewed and applied.

Micha, this may solve your bug with the resync[] in an empty database ?

Michael.
