Here is the source for Firebird package.
NixOS is a Nix-based Linux distribution. Thanks to Nix, it supports atomic upgrades, rollbacks and multi-user package management, and it has a declarative approach to system configuration management that makes it easy to reproduce a configuration on another machine.
I have now also uploaded a new snapshot build for Mac OS. It’s also built against Boost libraries version 1.54.
The updated boost.m4 file necessitated a bump of the minimum deployment target to 10.5 (although I don’t think that anyone will even notice these days).
It’s still a 32 bit only universal build for PPC and x86. Unless I buy a new Mac this won’t change as my 10.5.8 Mac isn’t updatable to a more recent OS AFAICS.
If anyone feels like taking over the Mac OS side of FlameRobin and looking into 64 bit Cocoa builds against wxWidgets 3.0 I’ll gladly step aside…
Thanks

New flamerobin snapshots (git hash 5ece15b) for Windows 32 and 64 bit are uploaded to SourceForge.net.
The 32 bit build does no longer contain a version for Windows 9X
versions, only the Unicode build is included. The Inno Setup created
installer should not allow the installation on Win 9X but I haven’t
tested this.
All builds use Boost libraries version 1.54, for the necessary changes
to be able to compile it with MSVC++ 7.1 see boost ticket
Testing and reporting on your findings would be great

Here are the steps for Building Firebird Client only for Android (arm)
Based on a comment I made in response to someone asking about the availability of Firebird on IOS (after someone mentioned that the recent release of Delphi XE5 has support for an embedded version of InterBase for iOS and Android), I thought I would write a few more details of the hows and wherefores here.
With the release of Delphi XE5, with support for iOS and Android it also brings InterBase versions of these two O.S-es, people started to question whether we can expect a version of Firebird for mobile platforms. Apparently, it will happen! Paul Beach said he already has a version of FB compiling for iOS, but it still needs testing. Anyway, the release versions for iOS / Android should not happen now, since developers are totally focused on Firebird 3 release.

Update:
Firebird client can be build for Android
Also on the Apple side: Paul Beach managed to cross-compile Firebird for iOS
Many developers think that transactions are straightforward and easy thing to understand and use, so probably there is no reason to devote 1 day seminar to discover transactions mechanism in Firebird in great details. Is it so?
Here I offer 3 simple questions about transactions which every Firebird developer should answer. Please take a look and choose the correct answer
