compile firebird driver

juanki

Hello

Have you compiled the driver for the new version of Firebird? (3.0.3). I'm trying to do it and I can not:

captura

I have it installed and added to the PATH of the system.

Works!!

I have compiled the driver using Qt MSVC2017 64 bits.

Although it does not recognize the new type of boolean data that incorporates firebird 3.0. I do not know if you have to configure something, but by default it does not recognize it.

Marco as solved as I managed to compile the driver.

Thank you very much

Hi,

Did you try to follow the workflow ?

Hi

First I installed firebird in C:\Firebird. And I added it to the system PATH.

And then, as seen in the capture, I tried to compile with the instructions in the Qt documentation and can not find the installation of firebird.

Firebird 2.5 creates a folder /bin inside the installation folder, version 3.0 does not create it and puts the executables in the installation folder. Could it be the error?

SGaist

AFAIK, the executable should not influence, it's the folder where the lib file is located that is important.

juanki

Oh! sorry, executables and lib (.dll) files. My incomplete message came out (remember that I use google translate :))

In version 2.5 they are in the path C:\Firebird\bin and in version 3.0 in the path C:\Firebird.

The .dll I have copied to the system folder, but it does not recognize them.

as a curiosity: What does AFAIK?

SGaist

Don't put anything in your System folders.

It's the .lib file that is of interest, where is that one ?

AFAIK: As Far As I Know

Hi @SGaist

Sorry for the delay, but I'm working hard :(

The .lib files are in the path C: \ Firebird \ lib.

I have seen in the SRC folder of Qt, that there is a configure.json file that contains the following:

"ibase": {
            "label": "InterBase",
            "test": {
                "include": "ibase.h"
            },
            "sources": [
                { "libs": "-lgds32_ms", "condition": "config.win32" },
                { "libs": "-lgds", "condition": "!config.win32" }
            ]
        },

But the .lib files of firebird are not called * gds *, they are called * fbclient *, I have modified the .json by putting in its place fbclient, but it still does not work.

:)

You have to pass C:/Firebird/lib as additional path to search for libraries when preparing the build of the plugin.

Hi

Yes, and from the folder * ibase *, when trying to compile now I get the error C:\Firebird\lib/fbclient_ms.lib: error adding symbols: File format not recognized

I am trying to compile on a Win 64 bit, Firebird 64 bit system and yet the version of Qt mingw is 32 bits.

I'm going to try the MSVC version, I have to install everything now :(
