PostgreSQL, Lazarus and zeos ?

From

Hi.
 
Someone mentioned Lazarus as good IDE for working with PostgreSQL, so that's the reason I started to learn Lazarus...
 
Now, I was told that I need to install ZEOS library in order to work with PostgreSQL.
I downloaded the following .zip files: zeosdbo-5.0.7-beta, zeosctrl-1.0.0-beta. I have installed Lazarus 0.9.8 (binaries) on WIndows XP.
 
It seems that these zeos files are intended to be for Delphi, not for Lazarus ?
What am I supposed to do now ? How to install it ?
 
Is it really neccessary to instal Zeos in order to work with PostgreSQL?
 
Sorry for stupid questions, but this is totaly new stuff for me...
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Zlatko

You don't have to use Zeos, there are a couple of others, I think one is
mentioned right on the Lazarus home page.

The Zeos code will work on Delphi or Lazarus, it uses compiler
directives to detect if you are installing on Delphi or Lazarus.

I would suggest you go out to the zeos page on sourceforge and look in
the forums for help on this.
http://www.zeoslib.net

Zeos is by far the most advanced, it's pretty new for Lazarus, so it
might take some tweaking to get it to work.

I built PG Lightning Admin with Zeos and it works well on Delphi, but of
course your mileage will vary with Lazarus.

Hope this helps.

You need the cvs version of zeoslib to work with Lazarus.  It's also the
6.5.something version.  The old 5.x only worked with Delphi.  See the
Lazarus forums for more information.
