[mdb-dev] Installing mdbtools-0.5 l

[Marc C. <mar...@pl...>]

Good evening,

I was running almost perfectly mdbtools 0.4 (with gmdb)
(On slackware 8.1)
I still had  problems with columns using JET4 Databases
but it was enough for my purpose.

I tried installing the version 0.5 hoping a full-fonctionnal viewer.
But...

- now mdb-sql does not support the underscore character 
(but it did with the version 0.4 ! )
- now I tried to used gmdb (gmdb2 does not compil) and it crash while
loading
my database
- so I tried to compile gmdb2 and this start to be a long long run :
     -> first to get mdbtools 0.5 compiling I had to install glib2,
pkgconfig & gettext
     -> mdbtools did compile but there was still error about libglad
(and no binary file
for gmdb)
     -> so I installed libglade, but It asked for libxml, atk, gtk+
(this asked for pango)
     -> But I did still not have my binary file for gmdb2
     -> in fact it asked for libgnomeui (that ask for libgnome-2.0 >=
1.104.0 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 1.104.0                   libbonoboui-2.0
>= 1.97.0 gconf-2.0 >= 1.1.1) and I am fed up with this long install...

Is the way from gmdb still long ?
Is there really no way to get gmdb2 running simply ?
Will I still have gmdb1 running with the new libmdb ?
Can I have a version of libmdg dealing with the underscore ?

Please help (and excuse-me for this full-of-mistakes engkish language)

Marc Cassuto.
