Building from Sources
Building from source code (recommended), requires the development package for unixODBC.Proceed with the following steps:
-
Download and unpack the Firebird driver sources
-
Rename
makefile.linux
in.source/Builds/Gcc.lin
tomakefile
-
Set the evironment variables
FBINCDIR
(Firebird include directory) andFBLIBDIR
(Firebird lib directory) if necessary. -
Run
make
which will create the librarylibOdbcFb.so
in a subdirectory -
It is possible to copy the library to
/usr/local/lib64
or any preferred directory;or runmake install
to symlink the library from theunixODBC
directory
