Building Firebird 1 on Linux


  
ball.gif Firebird must be installed.
  
ball.gif Check out a tagged code release to ensure the build environment is OK:
  FB_CVS=:pserver:anonymous@firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird

  cvs -z3 -d $FB_CVS checkout -P -r V1_0_3_WINLIN interbase
  
ball.gif Switch to the root of the checked out source and type:
  /Configure.sh PROD
  source Configure_SetupEnv.sh
  make firebird > make.log 2>&1
and wait. Alternatively, open another terminal and tail the log:
  tail -f path/to/make.log
  
ball.gif A successful build should end with the line:
  Build Succeeded!
