Leave a comment

In this Lazarus Tutorial

We describe the planning of a simple database, the setting up of the Firebird DBMS, the creation and populating of a database and then ways that you can access it by different applications to query the data. Written reports are an essential feature of most databases. We demonstrate the use of the LazReport component in the section entitled Creating and Printing a Report.

Install firebird 2.5.4 x64 with fbclient copy to system dir (checked).
Install rubyinstaller 2.x x64
Download Devkit for ruby 2.x (x64 – 64bits only)
unzip it in C:\rubydevkit
open cmd.exe in start->run
cd rubydevkit
run ruby dk.rb init and ruby dk.rb install to bind it to ruby installations in your path.

Then gem install fb will go without issues after compilation.
After that you can install rails 4.2.x and ActiveRecord Firebird Adapter.
