Subject Re: [firebird-support] FIREBIRD environment variable
Author Peter Lee
I did try that initially - as per your very helpful instructions - thank
you! However - it didn't work with our app. We are using Qt 4.5.2, which
, I ended up having to have the value of
'./Ourapp.app/Contents/MacOS/firebird', with firebird.conf in the firebird
folder as well.

Everything was working fine - but two issues have come up. Firstly - it
would be good if our bundle had a space in it's name... with major version
number after - so we don't overwrite prior versions when it's deployed.

Secondly - security2.fdb needs rw access for 'other' and mac people are
telling me that it's evil to have writable files within the app bundle...
which is fair enough. That means that ideally - the firebird stuff should
go into '/Library/Application Support/Rising Software/<app>/firebird'

So - either way - i'm stuck with spaces in the path unfortunately. I'm
still not sure if they are allowed or not?

Peter Lee
