Creating IBase sql plugin on mac osx 10.4 by mac/unix newbie
Message 1 in thread
Hi Everybody,
Can someone point me to DUMMIES instructions on building the ibase plugin on mac?
The sql database drivers page starts with running 'configure -help'.
But I get configure - command not found.
Some background:
I didn't install Qt on this machine, so I don't know where anything is, and I don't know how to find them, other than Finder, and it doesn't list half the unix folders. I assume that pre-built binaries have been installed.
Up to now, I have been happily using the designer, and running qmake, then XCode to build example programs, without any idea how it all worked. So far the programs have not required the database.
I don't understand why qmake works, but configure doesn't. qmake seems to be in /usr/bin?
Entering set doesn't show a value for QTDIR, and ls $QTDIR shows my home folder.
I have found various folders under /Library/Frameworks, including QtSql.framework.
I tried changing to that folder, and doing qmake qtsql.prl, it appears to run, but there are no messages at all, good or bad.
I did find some excellent instructions on installing firebird and testing that it works, so its only the Qt side I need to get going.
Many thanks in advance,
Tony Rietwyk
