There is an embedded tommath in firebird/extern/libtommath/, but Firebird uses this only for windows. ( in version 4.0 there is an option --with-builtin-tommath, which allows us to use it on Linux, but there is no option like that in 3.0). So iiuc I have to do something only for Linux (and Mac ?). Firebird doesn't build on linux without an installed tommath, it searches for a system library. Isn't there some package manager stuff for libreoffice, which installs libtommath on Linux/MAC just before installing libreoffice? Actually I don't understand the concept of the makefiles you mentioned. So these UnpackedTarball, ExternalProject etc. makefiles would make some kind of tommath.so file(s) to instdir/program from a tarball, right? But than how would we force the firebird files to use those so files instead of searching for system libraries? With a patch on the firebird source?
