Decided to update Qt. Each time this entails reinstalling the drivers for working with databases.
I decided to write down the sequence of actions.
I hope I save someone a couple of hours. :-)
Install Qt 5.11.
The Qt documentation says:
How to Build the QIBASE Plugin on Unix and macOS
The following assumes InterBase or Firebird is installed in /opt/interbase:
If you are using Firebird, the Firebird library has to be set explicitly:
cd $QTDIR/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers
qmake -- IBASE_PREFIX=/opt/interbase IBASE_LIBS=-lfbclient
> make sub-bases
But everything is not so simple.
Learning SuSE, the Fierbird header files are in /usr/include/firebird.
In order for qmake to run, you need to add it to .bashrc
- PATH=$PATH:~/Qt5.11.0/5.11.0/gcc_64/bin
- export PATH
Relogin or open a new console.
Go to the folder with the drivers.
- cd ~/Qt5.11.0/5.11.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers
Now the difference from the documentation:
- qmake -- IBASE_INCDIR=/usr/include/firebird IBASE_LIBS=-lfbclient
If you do as indicated in the documentation, nothing happens :-)
We get the following:
- Info: creating stash file /home/rust/Qt5.11.0/5.11.0/Src/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/.qmake.stash

- Qt is now configured for building. Just run 'make'.
- Once everything is built, Qt is installed.
- You should NOT run 'make install'.
- Note that this build cannot be deployed to other machines or devices.
- Prior to reconfiguration, make sure you remove any leftovers from
- the previous build.
For the Interbase driver, the configuration is ready.
Farther...
- make sub-ibase
When compiling, we get an error:
- g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++1z’
- g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wdate-time’
You can google….
Go to the ibase directory.
Open the Makefile in the editor.
Change -std=c++1z to -std=c++11 in two places.
And in the same lines we delete -Wdate-time.
We save the file.
Go to the directory above and repeat:
- make sub-ibase
Hooray! He got ready.
Now to install it...
- make sub-ibase-install_subtargets
Driver can be used.
Here are the dances with tambourines.
