There are some issues when building Firebird with compiler in C++14 mode which is default for gcc >= 6. For details see e.g. https://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5099 For Firebird 2.5, the problem can be worked around by adding "-std=gnu++98 -fno-lifetime-dse" to CXXFLAGS which enforces C++98 mode even on newer gcc and disables certain optimizations. However, if your ICU is version 59.1 (or newer), you may be in trouble as that requires C++11: https://sourceforge.net/p/firebird/mailman/message/35878832/ Michal Kubecek ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
