About
This is Lazarus por of TurboPower FlashFiler Database.
I used the version tpflashfiler_2_13 from SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler/).
Detailed help and documentation files are located there.
More port infos are in devdocs\LazConvertReadMe.txt
Use this thread [1] in Lazarus forum for questions.
Installation
- Download from Lazarus-CCR [2] or as zip-file from one-drive [3].
- Use package file lazff2.lpk from folder packages.
Usage
1. Start bin\i386-win32\ffserver.exe
2. Make 2 db-aliases in ffserver [ffserver-Menu > Config > Aliases ...]
Alias: Path: mythicdb root folder\flashfiler\data\mythicdb Tutorial root folder\flashfiler\data\demodb
I created them you must change the root folder.
3. Open FlashFiler Server General Configuration Dialog
[ffserver-Menu > Config > General ...]
4. In configuration dialog Enter for Server name:
local then Click Ok.
5. Now the server "local" appears in Servers listview. Click on it and start it.
6. Now open any example from examples-folder and compile, run and enjoy it.
Screenshots
State of the Lazarus port
10.12.2016: Client components are Working. Server-Engine component (TffServerEngine) has error so you need server binaries compiled with delphi. Tested with Windows 7, Lazarus 1.6.3, fpc 3.0.
11.03.2017: Now the server components are working. I must test and change somethings and upload it to lazarus-ccr.
ToDo
[11.03.2017 Done] 1. Solve server-engine component (TffServerEngine) error. The error is located in fflldict.pas-file in _procedure_TffDataDictionary.ReadFromStream(S : TStream);
It is stream reading error with caused by functions ReadString and ReadInteger. I could not solve it, maybe someone with better skills can do it.
