Hello,
We are trying to compile Firebird 2.1
for Android in order to use the embedded version in our mobile device
of our software.
But
for the moment it seems impossible for some reasons : Android
uses his own Libc called Bionic. And the problem is that there is a
lot of missing features in. There is no implementation of the POSIX
IPC or System V IPC inside, Android drop this to avoid
denial-of-service. So, use of
semaphore, shared memory, etc, is not possible.
We
have written a more complet document of this porterage which
describes the problems in detail.
Somebody
have already attempt to compile or to make an Android version of
Firebird ?
What
would be the good way to do that ?
Otherwise,
how to interest Firebird developpers to make this Android version ?
(Maybe I can create a topic in the tracker )
Thanks
in advance.
