Hello

to do my monitoring, I want to use a different box than the fb server, a NAS (synology) but I need only client tools (isql, gbak, ...)

On synology, it's possible to bootstrap/ipkg [1] to get more tools than normally available but sadly firebirdsql is not in repository (see probably why at the end).
I have ipkg installed w autoconf, automake, bison, gcc, make, ncurses-dev and try to compile Firebird (2.5.1)

autogen.sh runs in issue w different perl threading compiling options so I run directly configure
# ./configure --prefix=/opt/firebird
[...]
The Firebird2 package has been configured with the following options:

Architecture : ClassicServer
Debug : disabled
64 bit I/O for 32-bit platforms : enabled
Raw devices : enabled
Service name : gds_db
Service port : 3050
GPRE modules : c_cxx.cpp
Install Dir : /opt/firebird
But
# make
make -C gen firebird
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/Firebird-2.5.2.26539-0/gen'
make -C ../extern/btyacc
make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/Firebird-2.5.2.26539-0/extern/btyacc'
cc -c -o closure.o closure.c
make[2]: cc: Command not found

I would have supposed configure to match cc and gcc. went the easy way

> ln -s /opt/bin/gcc /opt/bin/cc

But (2)
make -C gen firebird
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/tmp/Firebird-2.5.2.26539-0/gen'
(cd ..; ./src/misc/writeBuildNum.sh rebuildHeader)

!

=> it seems armv5tel is not supported ... no just because I missed lib atomic or atomic_ops [3] (in this case, configure should have just failed). After installing, compilation went fine.

advices ?
and I'm not even at the point of a way to select only client tools for install.

Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
