[Firebird-devel] Building Firebird Linux with --with-builtin-tommath

[Mark R. <ma...@la...>]

I'm investigating ways of packaging Firebird Embedded for Java, so it 
can be used as drop-in Java library (which is then unpacked to a 
temporary directory automatically).

Given Firebird complains about missing libtommath when I use the normal 
build, and I don't want to impose on users to install additional 
libraries, I tried a custom build (from current state of v4.0-release 
branch) with:

./autogen.sh --with-builtin-tommath --with-builtin-tomcrypt 
--enable-binreloc
make
make dist

I have a problem with libtommath in this build:

gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib contains libtomcrypt.so.1.0.1 (and 
symlinks libtomcrypt.so and libtomcrypt.so.1), but no libtommath files, 
these are in a .tm subdirectory of lib, so

gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/.tm/libtommath.so.0
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/.tm/libtommath.so.0.0.41
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/.tm/libtommath.so

I would have expected these files directly in 
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/, not in 
gen/buildroot/usr/local/firebird/lib/.tm/. Trying to load embedded this 
way complains about missing libtommath.

Copying those files/symlinks from .tm to the parent directory allows 
embedded to be loaded.

What is wrong here? Did I miss a configuration option somewhere? Is this 
a bug in the build?
