It's easy to compile
firebird export utility just
download the version from sourceforge
cd fbexport-1.90
after that modify fbcopy/TableDependency.cpp
and add
#include <stdio.h>
to the include section otherwise you will get the error error: ‘printf’ was not declared in this scope
make should complete the job (of course you need the firebird headers , check if you have them installed with dpkg -L firebird2.5-dev)
make
g++ -c -O1 -DIBPP_LINUX -DIBPP_GCC -Iibpp -o fbcopy/args.o fbcopy/args.cpp
g++ -c -O1 -DIBPP_LINUX -DIBPP_GCC -Iibpp -o fbcopy/fbcopy.o fbcopy/fbcopy.cpp
