Currently there are two patches I work on. Update to Firebird 3.0: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/25673/
- It seems to be ready for GNU/Linux. - The new Firebird version requires tommath, so we had to grant a bundled libtommath external (patch 7). - Firebird 3.0 uses (instead of fbembed) two libraries for the embedded functionality: fbclient and Engine12. By default, fbclient searches Engine12 in a wrong path (in Firebird install dir). There is a config option to change this (with-fbplugins), but it cannot be used with a relative path. So I hardcoded the location with a patch. tdf#72987 Use Firebird backup format https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/26188/ - It works only with fb 3.0 (I tried it on fb 2.5 too just for curiosity, and I had some permission problem which I did not investigated). - It does not work on install build yet because of an absolute path in the code. Discussion is here: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2016-June/074582.html - We ship the default security database from workdir to instdir/share, because the service manager of firebird needs it to make an archive file. - In case the odb file contains no archive file, it looks for a .fdb (not archived) database file. When the user saves, it will replace it with an archive file. It actually fails by now. regards, Tamás Bunth _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
