Re: [Firebird-devel] Firebird 3.x on MacOS

I will try and do my best to revisit the MacOS build once 3.0.2 comes out 
(which is 
likely to be very shortly).

Re: [Firebird-devel] Firebird 3.x on MacOS

[Mark De Wit]

Yes, Mac build of Firebird was the hardest of all our software modules so far 
(we're planning to use it as embedded database).

My build notes are very similar to yours, a few things that I noted down are:

autogen.sh I had to add --disable-raw-devices, because that module did not 
compile for me.

Gen\make.platform has a wrong (absolute) path for libtommath.  I had to fix 
that every time I ran autogen again, or the build would fail.

I'm using ICU 57.1 because later versions removed a (deprecated) module that is 
required for another 3rd party library.  I used the version of tommath that was 
included with the firebird source (I just built it manually).

That took me more than enough time to work out.. ok the following should work.

You will need to install a copy of ICU, the ICU shipped with MacOS (assuming 
they still do) is not good enough. The easiest way to do this is to download 
the source code and build it yourself. Currently I am using 5.4. Unlike other 
posix platforms we are going to have to ship the libs with the framework. You 
will also need to install libtommath via MacPorts for example. We need a way to 
link this into the build statically, because we can't ask everyone to install 
it.

To get round the build shell issue DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH failure (SIP) see here: 
http://paulbeachsblog.blogspot.fr/2016/03/dyldlibrarypath-and-el-capitan.html

Reboot command-r
Terminal csrutil disable
Restart

or we borrow libreoffices workaround.

Within ICU

Amend config/mh-darwin
Note install-path LD_SONAME

## Compiler switches to embed a library name and version informationifeq 
($(ENABLE_RPATH),YES) LD_SONAME = -Wl,-compatibility_version 
-Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION_MAJOR) -Wl,-curre nt_version -Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION) 
-install_name $(libdir)/$(notdir $(MIDDLE_SO
_TARGET))
else
LD_SONAME = -Wl,-compatibility_version -Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION_MAJOR) 
-Wl,-curre nt_version -Wl,$(SO_TARGET_VERSION) -install_name 
/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.f ramework/Versions/A/Libraries/$(notdir 
$(MIDDLE_SO_TARGET)) endif

Build ICU
ICU ./configure --enable-renaming=no

Firebird 

./autogen.sh
./configure 

Needs these flags setting for example

CFLAGS
(ucnv.h)-I/Users/pbeach/icu54/icu/source/common
(libtommath.h)  -I/opt/local/include/libtommath

LDFLAGS
(-licuuc)   -L/Users/pbeach/icu54/icu/source/lib
(-ltommath) -L/opt/local/lib

Make needs these for example

CXXFLAGS
(ucnv.h)-I/Users/pbeach/icu54/icu/source/common
(libtommath.h)  -I/opt/local/include/libtommath
(utrans.h)  -I/Users/pbeach/icu54/icu/source/i18n

Hows that for starters...

Paul

At least a description of the complicated settings build would be very
useful. I several times started to build FB3 and master on my mac and
cried :)

[Firebird-devel] Firebird 3.x on MacOS

[Paul Beach]

A question by Vlad has prompted me to write this brief message...

Some of you may have noticed that we have no official installer for 
Firebird 3.x on MacOSX... to date thats been down to me, and on 
my todo list when I get enough time. I have started work on it
but I haven't been able to finish it. Other commitments keep
getting in the way. Firebird 3 compiles and runs fine on 
the latest version of MacOSX and Clang. Setting up the build
is a bit complicated, but if anyone would like to step in and 
help I am more than happy to offer advice where necessary.

Volunteers?

Regards
Paul
