link/Doc for building firebird , Linux

Dear Marius popa and Members,

Thanks for your help. "make install" call installs firebird DB itself.
My requirement is to generate firebird-1.5.1.XXX.tar.gz(same like the one hosted in firebird.sourceforge.net).

So I modified src/install/arch-specific/linux/Makefile.in as below

#included below in buildTarDir: to create FB.tar.gz

(cd $(GEN_ROOT); tar -C $(TarDir) -czf FB.tar.gz . )



install: buildTarDir
#commented installion of DB by default
#(cd $(GEN_ROOT)/$(TarDir); ./install.sh)
#cp -r $(GEN_ROOT)/$(DebugDir)/* /

Above changes don't has created firebird DB installion as I required. But tar creation does not take effect and it has thrown some errors as below,

/gen/FirebirdSS-1.5.1.4481-0.i686; tar -C ../buildroot -czf buildroot.tar.gz . )
(cd ../gen/FirebirdSS-1.5.1.4481-0.i686; tar -tzf buildroot.tar.gz > manifest.txt ) (cd ../gen; tar -C FirebirdSS-1.5.1.4481-0.i686 -czf FB.tar.gz . )

If you have makefile as of my requirement / or if you know how to achieve my requirement please do help me.

Thanks & regards,

this is how i build the firebird 2.0


to get the 1.5.1 version you need to change the checkout line

Here are the scripts updated for 1.5.x and vulcan
I hope is the right branch :)


cat compile_firebird_15x.sh


and here is for vulcan

you can create the tar.gz from this dir gen/FirebirdSS-1.5.2.4585-0.pre1.i686/

the content is the same as one found on sf.net downloads (tar install)

ps:
start with a clean script
