well configure runs smoothly, get a couple of "nos" where static
libraries and some odd stuff is checked but that s ok to me!
then "make" runs through for a long time until I come to:
/dsql/parse.cpp and get lots of warnings: "cast from pointer to
integer of different size",
then: "[../temp/libfbstatic/dsql/parse.o] Fehler 1"
and: "rm ../src/jrd/dyn_util.cpp ../src/jrd/ini.cpp
../src/jrd/dyn_mod.cpp ../src/jrd/dfw.cpp ../src/jrd/dyn_def.cpp
../src/jrd/dpm.cpp ../src/jrd/met.cpp ../src/jrd/dyn.cpp
../src/jrd/grant.cpp ../src/jrd/scl.cpp ../src/dsql/blob.cpp
../src/dsql/array.cpp ../src/dsql/metd.cpp ../src/jrd/dyn_del.cpp
../src/jrd/pcmet.cpp ../src/jrd/fun.cpp

then it stops!!!
switched to that version 1.5.1 after 1.5.2 latest relaese got me all
these "undefined reference" errors! :-(
