RE: [Firebird-devel] How do I do this under Windows?

[Chris K. <ch...@ai...>]

Howdy,

For those that don't know, I'm trying to get multiple instances of Firebird
running under Win32. The reason is to have each instance of Firebird use a
different isc4.gdb.
The problem I'm running into at the moment is that isc4.gdb is referenced in
the following files directly via USER_INFO_NAME:

jrd/pwd.c
jrd/pwd.h
remote/inet_server.c
utilities/ibmgr.h
utilities/security.e
utilities/srvrmgr.c

and the following files reference USER_INFO_NAME via PWD_get_user_dbpath:

jrd/pwd.c
jrd/svc.c
/utilities/gsec.c

I've got ibserver.exe starting with a -e parameter that gives me an engine
instance id. My plan is to use the instance ID to allow listening on
different ports (3049 + engine_id) and to access different isc4.gdbs
(%INTERBASE%\engine_id\isc4.gdb). The port listening works OK.
Now, I only need to conditionalise the compile for the ibserver.exe case, as
it's the only bit that knows about the engine_id. Which files MUST I modify?
I don't want to unnecessarily change files, and security.e has me unsettled.
Thanks in advance for any help.
