The most complex version to build, but also the best documented. |
  |   |
 |
Requires several Borland tools (such as Make). These typically ship with Delphi or CBuilder. Almost any version will do - probably even from Delphi 2. |
  |   |
 |
The INTERBASE env var needs to be set to the root of a firebird installation. And %INTERBASE%\bin needs to be on the PATH. |
  |   |
 |
The Visual Studio compiler (v5 or v6) also needs to be on the path. You will probably need to run VCVARS32.bat |
  |   |
 |
CVS checkout via console:
set FB_CVS=:pserver:anonymous@firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird
cvs -z3 -d %FB_CVS% checkout -P -r V1_0_3_WINLIN interbase
or use tortoise:

|
  |   |
 |
Open a console and switch to the source directory. (It will be the top level directory called interbase, underneath the point where you checked out the source. Type these commands:
FB_Build_Win32_Build_Dbs.bat c:\path\to\build_dbs
FB_Build_Wn32.bat c:\path\to\build_dbs
A second window will soon open up. You can sit back and watch the build. |
