FIrebird for Android
——————–

Key: CORE-3885
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3885
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build Issues / Porting
Affects Versions: 2.1.5
Environment: Android 4
Reporter: JLM
Priority: Minor

Hello,

I’m trying to build Firebird 2.1 for Android ARM.
For the moment, I am compiling, step by step, by correcting builds issues.
To compile, I use the custom NDK R7 by Crystax in order to use the standard libc instead of the Bionic libc.

I will write my advance gradually.

Regards,
Loweno

Firebird 2.0.x series discontinued End Of Life

Leave a comment

Accordingly to its release lifetime policy, Firebird Project notifies that the Firebird v2.0 series has reached its end of life and thus will not be maintained anymore. The last official release in this series, Firebird 2.0.7, which has been announced this year, will be available from the “discontinued” section of the download area.

The Firebird roadmap is updated , we are waiting for Firebird 3.0.x Alpha 🙂

FlameRobin connection thread test on Windows

Leave a comment

I have posted a test version of FlameRobin: http://mghie.users.sourceforge.net/flamerobin_win32_test.zip

(a ZIP file containing only the 32 bit executables for Windows in ANSI and Unicode version) that uses a thread to establish the database connection. That
means that the progress dialog can be moved and cancelled, and the progress bar is updated in indeterminate mode. To see it in action it’s
best to try to connect to a database on a server which is not available or which doesn’t exist, which so far blocks FlameRobin completely until
the connection call times out. It would be great if people could test this and write (to flamerobin-devel) whether anything

breaks for them (it didn’t for me, yet). I’m a little of unsure if I should clean this up and commit…

Thanks
