FlameRobin screenshots on mac os-x

Michael Hieke (a new developer) managed to build flamerobin on os-x
Here are some screenshots and some feedback
I like this part :"So I will give this a try sometime, but I'm not putting anything version 0.2 on my computer at the moment. The screen shot looks very good tho, it already looks like it is better than the one bundled with Oracle."

How-to for building firebird 2.0, 1.5.x and vulcan

cat firebird20/compile_fb20.sh

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird co firebird2



cd firebird2

./autogen.sh --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/firebird20 --enable-superserver

make

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

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird co -rB1_5_Release firebird2



cd firebird2

./autogen.sh --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/firebird --enable-superserver

make

make install

and here is for vulcan

cat compile_vulcan.sh

cvs -d:pserver:fbReaders@cvs.netfrastructure.com:/usr/local/cvs login

# password is fulda conference

cvs -d:pserver:fbReaders@cvs.netfrastructure.com:/usr/local/cvs checkout vulcan



cd vulcan

chmod +x autogen.sh

./autogen.sh

cd src

./set_platform linux32

./boot_build

./build

JayBird 1.5.2 released

Added release notes on freshmeat page and on the theserverside.com :

"Thank you for posting a news article on TheServerSide! Your article must first be authorized by a member of TSS staff for relevancy, clarity, etc. It may be slightly editted for grammatical/formatting errors, etc."

Here is the full release announcement done by Roman:

"Hi,



JayBird 1.5.2 is available for download. It contains fixes to the issues posted in this group. There should be no more "invalid statement handles" and result sets should be correctly released when using the connection pool.

Hopefully also the "cannot start transaction, local transaction active" is gone too, at least I have added some more fixes.



Additionally I made it possible to specify both isc_dpb_lc_ctype and charSet encodings. In this case lc_ctype is passed to the database, charSet is used to convert bytes to characters. Most useful case is when lc_ctype=NONE.

Previoulsy driver used the default JVM encoding to convert bytes into strings, now you can enforce the encoding you like and do not depend on the regional settings of the host OS.



I have tried to build it with JDK 1.5, but it was not successfull. The build system cannot run with 1.5 (the target="1.2" part in build.xml and the used version of Ant does not understand 1.5), and at least JNDI code from the pool does not compile due to use of generics in JNDI API. Most likely one can build driver by using the "compatibility" mode of the compiler, but the

build system must be fixed (probably requires upgrade of Ant). I think we would need to split the code bases the same way I did it for JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.4. Are there any volunteers for this task?



Roman"



update :
"JayBird 1.5.3 is available for download. Release contains fix for the

ClassFormatException reported today.

WINDOWS MEDIA TEST (on linux) - Thanks MTV2

ps: this was when you try to play some videos on them site (Yah and i'm on looonix)
A good interview http://www.linux-mag.com/2004-07/rundgren_01.html
No wonder there are no good videos on MTV ... or music

LM: Do you ever want to create a new groundbreaking music video with modern technologies?

RUNDGREN: I do, but there's little demand today for music videos. There used to be a thriving, hungry market for music videos, but now most of the so-called music video outlets like MTV and VH-1 are doing reality programming -- they're not filling up their time with new videos. So the obstacle for me isn't daunting technology, it's simply the fact that there's nobody to play the result.
