Re: [Firebird-devel] Porting Firebird

[Tagangout, A. <Abd...@me...>]

Hi Alex,
yes i do become the sample of Port. many thanks.
i will install the client version of firebird on this CPU (AVR32) wo run an embedded linux OS.
so if i understand what you mean, i must compile a ClassicServer or SuperServer Version and link the Library libfbclient.so to the Application that will be running on the AVR32 Architecture?

if so, how can i say to firebird, that the created library should include supporting the AVR32 Architecture? Or will this be maked with the Patches from the sample port that you replay on this Link "http://firebird.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/firebird?view=revision&revision=44997" ?   

sorry i'm now to Firebird.
many thanks for your help
Abdo

Sorry, there is no client-only build. May be in 3.0... At least it will begin to build with creating client library.

Cross Compiling is a problem. This is primarily due to the fact that during the build we often need to run just created binaries.

But if you need client-only on AVR, why not use pure Java client? As far as I can google about AVR, it has HW Java support, therefore Java client should work very good.

Certainly, if you need native client port, feel free to ask more here:) But first of all let us know - to what operating system do you want to port firebird? I suppose it's linux, but please confirm.

PS. Did you get my letter with samples of ports? Anyway you can find them in this list's archive.
