It looks as if a physical copy of Firebird.pas never got added to HEAD.
Adding it to FB3 was temporal solution - did not want to add more
problems to windows build right before FB3 release (.pas file was added
not long before final release).
So it is not included in the Alpha 1 windows kits. Unfortunately a few
parts of the windows packaging code from B3_0_Release are also missing
(my fault) so this didn't get picked up earlier.
What is actually needed to generate firebird.pas?
1. cloop. I'm not sure is it built or not currently in windows but it's
definitely buildable w/o any problems.
2. gnu awk.
3. grep.
I looked at the code
in Makefile.in
Rules to build firebird.pas are at lines 107-119 in it. cloop needs very
many switches to build for pascal - that's due to very strict
requirements to the syntax from the language. Pay attention that all
required constants (like dpb items, error codes, etc.) are also included
here (using TMP_FUNCS file).
and makeInstallImage.sh.in
I believe it does nothing except including ready file into the package.
for the linux kits and
it is not at all obvious what is needed to add this to the windows
build process.
On my mind this place is far from being the most complex in posix build :-)
Though compared with c++ include file rule which is just 2 lines long -
yes, not obvious.
