[mdb-dev] Getting the CVS to build and seg faults

[Tom W. <mdb...@ma...>]

Here is how I got the CVS download to compile on my system (Slackware 9.1)

Edit the mdbtools/configure.ini file

Delete the line:
AC_CONFIG_FILES([src/Makefile])

Edit the line:
AC_OUTPUT(src/util/Makefile src/extras/Makefile Makefile include/Makefile 
src/Makefile src/libmdb/Makefile include/Makefile src/sql/Makefile 
src/odbc/Makefile doc/Makefile src/gmdb2/Makefile 
src/gmdb2/gladefiles/Makefile src/gmdb2/pixmaps/Makefile 
src/gmdb2/help/Makefile src/gmdb2/help/C/Makefile mdbtools.spec)

To remove the duplicate include/Makefile

export SED=sed

The last export command also needs to be carried out as root for 'make 
install' to work.

Unfortunatly my data base has carrige returns in memo fields which cause 
mdb-export to seg fault every time. If anyone has a fix for this can they 
please let me know.
