Connect to MySQL on MacOS 64-Bit

[Uwe Raabe 1879]

Does anyone know what must be done to connect a Delphi 10.4.2 FireDAC application for MacOS (High Sierra and up) to a MySQL server? The docs are probably a bit outdated still referencing an x86 client.

Go to https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-c/, select macOS, etc, download archive, extract lib\libmysqlclient.18.dylib

Thanks, Dmitry!

 

I did that and placed the file directly into the app folder. Renamed it to libmysqlclient.dylib (first tried with the corresponding link dylib) and started a simple test program. Unfortunately it still claims that it cannot load this dylib or the two alternative ones. I can see in the debugger that the SafeLoadLibrary call fails.
