hi- I noticed that if I go to the release notes for 2.5 it hints at what gcc compiler worked for that release. This helps a lot. I tried to configure and build with a really recent version of gcc and the release notes indicate a much older release and give a hint as to the version.
Thx. whomever created the release notes for indicating a hint as to the approximate gcc version used for that release. I might fool around with installing an older version of gcc then in my package manager to see if it will configure and build. Not sure what gcc requires. I probably could figure out by uninstalling from package manager and then acting like i wish to reinstall to see what kind of dependencies. I am not sure how developers keep it all straight with firebird source versions and for instance gcc with firebird. thx. and have a cool work week- J.
