At one time, 18 months ago, you did the following:
`cd /usr/ports/databases/firebird`
`make install -DENABLE_SUPERSERVER`

This then added the '--enable-superserver' argument to the configure stage,
which then told the build process to create the SuperServer binaries as
well.

At the moment, on line 67 of the
Makefile(/usr/ports/databases/firebird/Makefile), add '--enable-superserver'
inside the last bracket, and it'll build it...and break on the PTHREAD spot
as well.

I'll continue to tinker at it, but I'm no c++ coder - someone with true
mastery could step in, see exactly what the problem is, and fix it in a
flash, but I don't think any Firebird devs even use FreeBSD...

Nige.

At the moment, I'm waiting for the build to break - it's having troubles
with some calls inside the PTHREAD libraries...

Nige.
