Package: firebird-dev Version: 3.0.0.32483.ds4-2 Severity: important Hi,
LibreOffice master (for 5.3.0 for now, but maybe it will be backported, not sure) got support for building against firebird 3. configure.ac does the following: dnl =================================================================== dnl Check for system Firebird dnl =================================================================== AC_MSG_CHECKING([which Firebird to use]) if test "$with_system_firebird" = "yes"; then AC_MSG_RESULT([external]) SYSTEM_FIREBIRD=TRUE AC_PATH_PROG(FIREBIRDCONFIG, [fb_config]) if test -z "$FIREBIRDCONFIG"; then AC_MSG_NOTICE([No fb_config -- using pkg-config]) PKG_CHECK_MODULES([FIREBIRD], [fbclient >= 3], [FIREBIRD_PKGNAME=fbclient], [ PKG_CHECK_MODULES([FIREBIRD], [fbembed], [FIREBIRD_PKGNAME=fbembed]) ]) FIREBIRD_VERSION=`pkg-config --modversion "$FIREBIRD_PKGNAME"` else AC_MSG_NOTICE([fb_config found]) FIREBIRD_VERSION=`$FIREBIRDCONFIG --version` AC_MSG_CHECKING([for Firebird Client library]) FIREBIRD_CFLAGS=`$FIREBIRDCONFIG --cflags` FIREBIRD_LIBS=`$FIREBIRDCONFIG --embedlibs` FilterLibs "${FIREBIRD_LIBS}" FIREBIRD_LIBS="${filteredlibs}" fi AC_MSG_RESULT([includes `$FIREBIRD_CFLAGS', libraries `$FIREBIRD_LIBS']) AC_MSG_CHECKING([Firebird version]) if test -n "${FIREBIRD_VERSION}"; then FIREBIRD_MAJOR=`echo $FIREBIRD_VERSION | cut -d"." -f1` FIREBIRD_MINOR=`echo $FIREBIRD_VERSION | cut -d"." -f2` if test "$FIREBIRD_MAJOR" -eq "2" -a "$FIREBIRD_MINOR" -eq "5"; then AC_MSG_RESULT([OK]) elif test "$FIREBIRD_MAJOR" -eq "3" -a "$FIREBIRD_MINOR" -eq "0"; then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_FIREBIRD_30, 1) AC_MSG_RESULT([OK]) else AC_MSG_ERROR([Ensure firebird 2.5.x or 3.0.x is installed]) fi else [...] Unfortunately firebird-dev in experimental neither contains a pkg-config file nor a fb_config. So the pkg-config path gets tried, it tries fbclient >= 3 and fbembded and of course fails. Right now I worked around it with diff --git a/rules b/rules index 039cec6..b849566 100755 --- a/rules +++ b/rules @@ -1313,6 +1313,13 @@ ifeq "$(ENABLE_FIREBIRD)" "y" endif ifneq (,$(filter firebird, $(SYSTEM_STUFF))) BUILD_DEPS += , firebird-dev (>= 2.5.2.26540.ds4-2)$(OOO_NO_LE_ARCHS) + # hack for firebird 3. configure expects fb_config or pkg-config, neither of + # which firebird 3 provides.
