    Default Problem compiling ibase driver

    Hi all,
    i'm trying to compile QT with the iBase support.
    Somewhere i read to use -plugin-sql-qibase but it is not recognized by the ./configure. I used -plugin-sql-ibase as stated by the 'configure --help'.

    Compiling it i receive an error: ibase.h not found, so i added the option -I/opt/firebird/include.

    Now i receive the error
    Qt Code:
    1. cannot find -lgds
    2. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    3. make: *** [ibase] Error 1
    4. InterBase disabled.
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I searched for gds library but i did not able to find it

    Thanks !!

    I must admit I'm not familiar with iBase nor "gds" but perhaps libGDS?

    I don't know.
    There is a '-lgds' option on gcc command line.

    Then maybe you need -L /opt/firebird/lib too?

    Have you tried this?
    If you are using Firebird, the Firebird library has to be set explicitely:
    cd $QTDIR/src/plugins/sqldrivers/ibase
    qmake -o Makefile "INCLUDEPATH+=/opt/interbase/include" "LIBS+=-L/opt/interbase/lib -lfbclient" ibase.pro
    make
    (these instructions are for building the plugin only, but you can try to pass the INCLUDEPATH as -I and LIBS as -L to the configure script).

    Note that for Firebird you need fbclient library, not gds.

    OK, but the -lgds is added by the ibase.pro !!

    I discovered that are present two items /usr/lib/libgds.so[.0] that are links to /opt/firebird/lib/libfbclient.so !

    So I included -L /usr/lib and now i receive:

    Qt Code:
    1. ld: warning: libstdc++.so.5, needed by /usr/lib/libgds.so, may conflict with libstdc++.so.6

    20. make: *** [ibase] Error 1
    21. InterBase disabled.

    but i'm crosscompiling ... so i think i should not point to /usr/lib but to the relative crosscompiled ... but in that one i have NOT libgds !!!!

    Not quite:
    unix:!contains( LIBS, .*gds.* ):!contains( LIBS, .*libfb.* ):LIBS *= -lgds

    win32:!contains( LIBS, .*gds.* ):!contains( LIBS, .*fbclient.* ) {
    !win32-borland:LIBS *= -lgds32_ms
    win32-borland:LIBS += gds32.lib
    }
    If you tell Qt to use fbclient, it won't use gds.

    How did you compile that library?

    Ok, but libgds --> libfdclient, so that's the same thing !

    I did not compile that lib ! I downloaded the tar.gz file and i installed (as test) on my host (CentOS).
    When i crosscompiled QT for my target (i586 based) i pointed same libraries used by the host maybe to have a consistent situation is better to download the source files and compile them from the scratch for both the platform (even if they are very similar)

    Yes, I think you should try compiling from source. Even if both platforms are simmilar, they still different and might use different versions of other libraries.

    Hi all,
    now i have the crosscompiiiled version of the libraries but when i run sql browser i have the message:
    "This demo requires at least one Qt database driver. Please check the documentation how to build the Qt SQL plugins."
    So, both the iBase and SqlLite libraries i provided are not loaded

    Is there a way to debug this situation? Any log?

    I put the libraries on the Qt folder:

    Qt Code:
    1. root@192.168.197.128:~# ls -l /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.2.2/plugins/sqldrivers/
    2. total 2088
    3. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 94969 Sep 5 14:30 libqsqlibase.so
    4. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 1525107 Sep 5 14:32 libqsqlite.so
    5. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 490047 Sep 5 14:32 libqsqlpsql.so

    I found an old message where it was suggested to trace the system calls by strace. I did the same and i found the problem:

    Qt Code:
    1. root@192.168.197.128:~/sqlbrowser# ./strace ./sqlbrowser 2>&1 | grep plugin
    2. stat64("/root/seadragon/workspace_sd/qt/plugins", 0x8060e0c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    3. lstat64("/root/seadragon/workspace_sd/qt/plugins", 0xbfa9dd68) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    That path was the one i choose when i crosscompile QT, the location where to save the crosscompiled output but it is NOT the path where QT will be located on the target !!!

    How can i solve?
    I need a location on the host where to save the output of the crosscompile and the standard QT location on the final target !!!

    You can use qt.conf file to tell Qt where to look for plugins.
