Hi there,

Using fpc 1.0.6 and MySQL 3.23.49a under Red Hat Linux 6.2, everything installed from rpm packages. When I try to compile a simple program usign the mysql unit I get the error:

bash$ fpc testemysql.pas -Fl/usr/lib/mysql

Sure I missed something basic, but I could not find what. O though it was zlib, but adding -lz to the command line yelds the same errors.

Can you send the contents of link.res ?

Michael.

Hi Michael,

Here it is.

[]s, Fernando Lozano

Maybe zlib is missing, some distro's have zlib in libc, some not.

Marco,

But adding -lz to the command line don't solve the problem. :-(

[s, Fernando Lozano

Adding -lz to the compiler command-line is useless. This will only display the logo of the compiler.

try adding
{$linklib z}
to your program source code.

Michael.

Hi Michael,

So there's no to add a library to the linking phase on the command line? I must use compiler directives?

i am having problems with the winsock send function - i think its translating all my CR with CR/LF and i don't want it to. can someone tell me what flag to set?

 function send(s:TSocket;Const buf; len:tOS_INT;
flags:tOS_INT):tOS_INT;stdcall;
   external winsockdll name 'send';

regards,
ron wilson.

No, there is:

-k-lz

The -k option can be used to pass any command-line option to the linker.

Michael.
