Flamerobin for embedded FB in Linux

[Nelson Teixeira]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble using Flamerobin with FB embbeded on linux. I know that I have to leave host name blank and register pointing directly to the file. Still I allways get the following error:



Can anyone help or tell me the correct place where I can get help for that ? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and FB 2.5.1.

Thnx,
Nelson Teixeira

Judging from the error message, you host name is not blank but "localhost".

You should have something for "server name" but hostname field must be blank.

Milan,

I found and old message (from 2008) where you already helped me in the past. This one:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/firebird-support/message/97186

In that time I could connect in linux, after what you said. Yet I tried that same procedure and it's not working anymore. At least with the 2.5 server version.
As you said at that time I changed the -lfbclient to -lfbembed in the makefile, but I couldn't compile flamerobin. Probably because I have wxWidgets version 2.9 installed instead of the stable 2.8.

Yet I left the host name blank. Do you think it's still that same issue you said in 2008 ? If so I will try to compile it with wx2.8 in a virtual machine.

Hm, it could be a problem with 2.5 because SuperClassic is introduced.
You must link to fbembed library.

I doubt it's wx related. What errors do you get?

Well it was wx, I installed a virtualbox with 2.8 version and now it can't find libfbembed.so. It stops with the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfbembed

What I did was altering the Makefile line:

LIBS = -lfbclient

to

LIBS = -lfbembed

and beforehand set the FIREBIRD AND LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables so it can find the libraries.
But just to be sure I copied libfbembed.so to the /usr/lib folder also.

Any ideas ?

AFAIR, neither of those is used by ld linker. FIREBIRD variable is
used by Firebird and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used when you run your
application.

Try to get this to work by adding -L parameter to linker. Open the
Makefile and look for LDFLAGS= line. Add the firebird embedded "lib"
directory to the list using -L parameter.
