Does the Qt DB2 driver have third party dependencies?
Yes, probably similar to Oracle.
For the Oracle provider we have a modified QOCI driver that is built with QGIS
when it's dependencies are available, but that usually not the case on
platforms other than (osgeo4)Windows either.
How do you build the driver? Does it end up being a new QGIS executable
or does it just create an additional DLL with the QOCI driver?
We want to avoid requiring end-users to build complete QGIS from source
- it is hard enough for experienced developers to get this to work ;-)
We've managed to build the Qt QDB2 driver DLL but have not been
successful in having a Qt application load it.
Regards,
David
Jürgen
