Hello list!
I have the intention of packaging FirebirdSQL 3.x for the Conan
cross-platform package manager, so that I can start working on migrating
PHP to being a CMake and Conan managed project. Details about that here:
https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/issues/8618
I was redirected to this mailing list regarding questions about
FirebirdSQL:
https://github.com/asfernandes/cloop/issues/8#issuecomment-1027859114
So, the thing I'm curious about is: What are the normal (runtime)
requirements of FirebirdSQL? It turns out that cloop is used for
developer workflows only and it's a build requirement, which I assume to
be true also for btyacc
yes - both not needed for runtime
, both of which I already have pending PRs for in
Conan Center Index (Conan's default repository).
https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/building-the-code/ and the linked pages
don't seem to have a list of categorized dependencies that would tell me
what exactly I need to just build and distribute FirebirdSQL.
It depends you are talking about client library only or also server and
command line tools.
I guess you are talking about client library only, so it must be zlib.
zlib is not absolutely required in runtime for fb3. It's needed to
support data compression over the wire, which is controlled by client
settings and in 99% of usage cases not needed.
If not mention absolutely standard thing like C/C++ libraries with
threading (and may be atomic - depends on used compiler version) support
there is tommath library, which may be present or missing in FB binary
package depeding upon ./configure parameters - no idea what does cmake
do for it. When used with package manager tommath is definitely external
dependency.
If embedded access is needed (embedded means engine is running inside
calling process) that list will certainly grow.
