Jonas Maebe 8b0301409a + i386/iphonesim target for the new iPhoneSimulator in Xcode 3.2.4 and
later: the same as i386/darwin, except
      a) uses the non-fragile Objective-C ABI/runtime
      b) does not require stubs for direct calls/jumps (not required for
         i386/darwin under 10.6 and later either, but still generated
         there for backwards compatibility)
      c) only the same packages are enabled as for ARM/Darwin
      d) MacOSAll is compiled specifically for the iPhoneSimulator SDK
    This target also defines the symbol "darwin" apart from the target
    name "iphonesim" for source code compatibility reasons.

This is the MySQL interface of Free Pascal.

You need at least compiler version 0.99.8 to compile this.

To Compile under Linux
- You must know where the mysql libraries are.
- You must know where libgcc is.

The units come in 2 flavours:
- mysql3*.pp  : version 3.23 of mysql.
- mysql4*.pp  : version 4.0 of mysql.
These versions are substantially different.

Both these things must be set in the Makefile. After that a simple 'make'
and 'make install' should compile and install everything.

You can test with 'make test', but this supposes that there is a 'testdb'
database available. If not, you must run
  mkdb databasename
  testdb databasename
  rmdb databasename
manually. You need create permission on the database for this to work.

Win32 users: There are multiple .dll files circulating around. 
you should fix the statement
mysqllib = 'libmysql'
in the mysql unit, so it matches the version you have.

Enjoy !
