Hello, There was an old server running Debian 7. That server crashed and had to be installed. Service provide did not have Debian 7 in install OS list and now it runs Debian 9. Seemingly, Debian removed 2.5 packages from apt-get type of install.
I went down the road to compile my own firebird 2.5 on AMD64 from sources. Downloaded 2.5 sources from web site provided link. I did not know how to fetch latest sources from git hub. All was good until I receive below compile error: make[4]: Entering directory '/root/Firebird-2.5.8.27089-0/extern/icu/source/layout' g++ -D_REENTRANT -I. -I../common -I../common -I./unicode -I./.. -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DU_LAYOUT_IMPLEMENTATION -O -c -DPIC -fPIC -o IndicClassTables.o IndicClassTables.cpp IndicClassTables.cpp:229:117: error: narrowing conversion of '2147483651u' from 'unsigned int' to 'icu_3_0::IndicClassTable::ScriptFlags {aka int}' inside { } [-Wnarrowing] luClassTable = {0x0C00, 0x0C6F, 3, TELU_SCRIPT_FLAGS, teluCharClasses, teluSplitTable}; ^ IndicClassTables.cpp:231:117: error: narrowing conversion of '2147483651u' from 'unsigned int' to 'icu_3_0::IndicClassTable::ScriptFlags {aka int}' inside { } [-Wnarrowing] daClassTable = {0x0C80, 0x0CEF, 4, KNDA_SCRIPT_FLAGS, kndaCharClasses, kndaSplitTable}; ^ .../config/mh-linux:43: recipe for target 'IndicClassTables.o' failed make[4]: *** [IndicClassTables.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/root/Firebird-2.5.8.27089-0/extern/icu/source/layout' Makefile:98: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory '/root/Firebird-2.5.8.27089-0/extern/icu/source' .../gen/Makefile.extern.icu:39: recipe for target 'libicu' failed make[2]: *** [libicu] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/Firebird-2.5.8.27089-0/gen' Makefile:193: recipe for target 'external_libraries' failed make[1]: *** [external_libraries] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/Firebird-2.5.8.27089-0/gen' Makefile:6: recipe for target 'firebird' failed make: *** [firebird] Error 2 My questions are: 1- Is there easier way to install firebird 2.5 on this Debian 9 Stretch server? 2- Is there a way to quick fix that compile error? (I have little to no knowledge of C++) Any help is appreciated.
