When I was playing with Smalltalk, I learned a little about ORM.

Now, I would like to try it under Lazarus/Frepascal. I searched, and found tiOPF. But requires FBLib, and I'm getting a lot of errors trying to compile it under Windows (I dont know if I will get more errors on OSX at home)

There are some updated version, or other package for ORM on Lazarus / Freepascal?

It does not require fblib; I use it with SQLDB in a commercial app.

There is an updated version in subversion:

Code:
https://tiopf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tiopf/tiOPF2/Trunk

Demos:
https://tiopf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tiopf/tiOPF2_Demos

Docs:
https://tiopf.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tiopf/tiOPF2_Docs

Maybe there is a released version, but I don't know about that.

Hi Michael, first of all, thanks for the fast answer.

Well, the .lpk requires FBLib, as describes in lazarus.wiki too (1) I downloaded the latest release on downloads section at sourceforge.

I'm downloading now to try, thanks ;)

fblib units not found, you can just remove them. It'll work fine after that.

Correct. FBLib was one of the persistence layers and was enabled by default for Free Pascal / Lazarus. It has now been disabled by default and SqlDB (which is included with Free Pascal) is now enabled by default.

I have used both FBLib and SqlDB persistence layers in tiOPF in our commercial applications. But at the moment we switched everything to SqlDB.

Maybe there is a released version, but I don't know about that.

And I'm sure it's pretty old. :-( I would rather suggest fetching the Trunk revision. tiOPF has a very stable code base (even in Trunk) due to its hourly run testing framework under Windows and Linux.

outdated. The last released version for Free Pascal does have FBLib enabled by default - but FBLib is *not* a requirement.

Get the Trunk (svn) revision, it has many improvements since the *old* released versions. And don't worry, Trunk is very stable - I use it in our commercial apps, so will know straight away is something is broken in trunk.

If not done by somebody else already, I'll update that page tomorrow.

Hi,

Yes, tiOPF compiles well, but not tiOPFGUI with an error unit not found Htmlview. I searched on google and seems something about GTK. Some idea?

You know if tiOPF works under OSX?

Cheers.

Htmlview as far as I know is a Delphi unit. Are you using the package from the Compilers/FPC/ directory? Plus, I don't support the tiOPFGUI.lpk package anymore. I gave up trying to port the tiOPF GUI components to LCL. To many inconsistencies between VCL and LCL and it just made the shared units code pretty damn ugly with all the IFDEF's. I now use the MGM mediators. This allows me to use standard (non-db) components and make them "object aware" without creating descendant components. I use them as-is with great success. Been doing this for 2 years already.

Please get an update (revision 1500) and try the
Compilers/FPC/tiopflcl.lpk package instead. I don't use the LCL components much, so I'm sure a few more tiOPF units could be added to the tiopflcl.lpk package. Just let me know if you are missing some. The tiopflcl.lpk package is a runtime only package (it doesn't register components with Lazarus IDE).

I just tested the packages under my Lazarus and they compile fine. I also compiled the
<trunk>/Demos/LCL/Demo_21_AddressBook/demo_addressbook.lpr project without issues.

You know if tiOPF works under OSX?

I don't know of anybody that tried, but it might work. The only thing I could think of that could go wrong is maybe a few IFDEF's that need to change from {LINUX} to {UNIX}. Again, please let me know of any such issues and I'll fix them ASAP.

Hi again Graeme,

Graeme Geldenhuys escribi?:

Oh, I builded tiOPFGUI because the wiki entry sais to compile it.

Ok, I can compile tiOPF and tiOPFlcl. I will play a little with it on my Mac later.

I printed http://tiopf.sourceforge.net/Doc/overview/index.shtml

There are more interesting information about this to study?

Thanks a lot.

Ok, sorry, I didn't saw the Concepts Manual:
http://tiopf.sourceforge.net/Doc/Concepts/index.shtml

Graeme Geldenhuys escribi?:

Ok, first attempt under OSX.

Compiling tiOPF.lpk

Cheers.

Like I said, that wiki page is outdated.

Please keep use informed on how things go with tiOPF and MacOS. If you want more tiOPF support, please join the newsgroups available.

There is an article on Model-GUI-Mediator - an introduction on how you can bind data to standard gui components. Michael has also written excellent articles on available persistence frameworks including tiOPF. All downloadable from the above website.
