Subject Make firebird fails on RH 7.3
Author Cindy
I'm trying to build Firebird for the first time on a RH 7.3 box. I
started with the 1.0.2 sources from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9028 including
the bootkit.

I ran ./Configure.sh DEV and then source ./Configure_SetupEnv.sh with
no errors. However "make firebird" fails with:

../jrd/gds.h:2441:21: iberror.h: No such file or directory
In file included from ../jrd/svc.h:28,
from ../utilities/gsec.h:78,
from alt.c:49:

make[1]: *** [source/interbase/lib/gds.so] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/firebird-1.0.2.908/burp'
make: *** [burp] Error 2

I then used CVS to get a current snapshot. I repeated the same
configuration and make firebird also results in:

inifoo.c:908: warning: `add_generator' defined but not used
inifoo.c:1443: warning: `add_trigger' defined but not used
inifoo.c:215: warning: `add_user_priv' declared `static' but never
defined

make[1]: *** [source/interbase/lib/gds.so] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/firebirdCVS/interbase/burp'
make: *** [burp] Error 2


I'm sure it's a problem with my local configuration and not the
code....but I'm not sure what I've done wrong. If anyone can offer a
suggestion, I'd appreciate it.

Anxious to try Firebird :)
