Note this was when Apple insisted on static linking for ios and I was trying to see if a static build of Firebird was possible (it isn't) nowadays AFAIR dynamic linking is now allowed and I did manage to build 2.5 dynamically for ios. So you can remove --enable-static --disable-shared Regards Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
