On a side note:
My quoted paragraph doesn't mention FreeBSD, but I have successfully
ran Firebird Server & clients under FreeBSD 9.0 on x86, and there are
FreeBSD downloads on the Firebird website for 2.1.x and older. So just
because the latest version doesn't contain a download for a specific
OS+CPU, doesn't make it "not supported". Firebird rocks! :)
That means we should compile & distribute IBase and ibconnection in FPC,
because I think currently they are not.
On a Solaris SPARC system, looking at /usr/local/lib/fpc,
-bash-3.00$ find . -name ibconnection.ppu |sort
./2.4.2/units/sparc-solaris/fcl-db/ibconnection.ppu
./2.4.4/units/sparc-solaris/fcl-db/ibconnection.ppu
./2.6.0/units/sparc-solaris/fcl-db/ibconnection.ppu
i.e. it's in 2.6.1 but isn't being built in 2.7.1 (trunk). I'm assuming that
I need the latter because of code generator fixes that I know were applied.
Yes.
It would certainly be useful for me to have the /client/ stuff on as many
platforms as possible, since I'm starting to look at a large distributed
project which will primarily be using PostgreSQL as its backend but I also
want the option of Firebird for "leaf" systems.
Obviously the availability of the Firebird /server/ stuff is a completely
different issue. I'd neither be surprised nor particularly sorry if that
turned out to be x86-only.
Apparently, it is available for your platform too.
Strange that it was removed from trunk, though. We'll need to re-enable it.
Maybe it is the switch to fpmake that caused this.
Michael.
