<![CDATA[Qt and embedded Firebird DB]]>Hello!

I am having some difficulties to find a tutorial to use Qt with embedded Firebird DB for Mac OSX.

Could anyone help to find how to do that?

Thanks

Tutorial above:

TUTORIAL: CREATING FIREBIRD PLUGIN FOR MAC OSX WITH QT

QT 5.4.0
FIREBIRD 2.5 (Mac OS X 64-bit Classic, SuperClassic & Embedded - Intel)

1 - Install Qt

2 - Install Firebird
Firebird will be installed as a Framework at /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework

3 - Open the file qsql_ibase.pri
File found in:
$ QTDIR / Src / qtbase / src / sql / drivers / ibase /

4 - Leave only lines 1 and 2
ex:
HEADERS + = $$ PWD / qsql_ibase_p.h
SOURCES + = $$ PWD / qsql_ibase.cpp

5 - In the terminal go to the folder:
$ QTDIR / Src / qtbase / src / plugins / sqldrivers / ibase /

6 - Run the command:
$ QTDIR / clang_64 / bin / qmake -spec macx-g ++ -o Makefile "IncludePath + = / Library / Frameworks / Firebird.framework / Versions / Current / Headers" "LIBS + = - L / Library / Frameworks / Firebird.framework / Versions / Current / Libraries -lfbclient "ibase.pro

7 - In the same folder run the Make command

8 - In the folder:
$ QTDIR / Src / qtbase / plugins / sqldrivers /
Two files are created:
libqsqlibase_debug.dylib
libqsqlibase.dylib

9 - Copy these two files to the folder:
$ QTDIR / clang_64 / plugins / sqldrivers /

Hence the check with otool

Have a look at the output of otool -L on the Qt Firebird plugin to see what it's currently missing

The Firebird 2.5 installation creates a firebird.framework at my computer. Now I am trying to make a connection with Qt but I receive a "driver not loaded" message.

Can someone help me please?

AFAIK, it would be pretty much the same steps you would need for e.g. windows. Get the embedded server library and link the plugin to that one rather than the usual client lib.

Hope it helps
