FlashFiler
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 sourcelaz\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\ffserver.exe
2. Make 2 db-aliases in ffserver [ffserver-Menu > Config > Aliases ...]
Alias: Path: mythicdb yourfolder\flashfiler\examples\mythicdb Tutorial yourfolder\flashfiler\examples
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.
Attention: EmbeddedServer-Examples don't work!
State of the Lazarus port
10.12.2016: Client components are Working. Server-Engine components has error so you need server binaries compiled with delphi. Tested with Windows 7, Lazarus 1.6.3, fpc 3.0.
ToDo
1. Solve server components 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.
