Compile FB 5.0.3 with libtommath and libtomcrypt libraries

[Pierre Vacher]

Hi all,

I would like to have the same Linux binary package as:

https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/releases/download/v5.0.3/Firebird-5.0.3.1683-0-linux-x64.tar.gz

but with libtommath and libtomcrypt libraries included.

For this I compile with the following options:

./autogen.sh --with-builtin-tommath --with-builtin-tomcrypt

I manage to get the libtommath and libtomcrypt libraries included, but I end up with a 180MB libEngine13.so file, whereas it's only 10MB in the Linux binary distribution.

I'm probably missing the right compilation option?

IIRC the binaries are stripped during packaging so what you missed is most
likely "make package".

Okay, good point, I didn't think the packaging did so much.

Otherwise, for now, I'm able to get it working from the downloadable binaries and just add the three binary (two are link) files:

• lib/libtommath.so
• lib/libtommath.so.1
• lib/libtommath.so.0.0.41

Retrieve from my compilation... I don't know if it's advisable to proceed like this?

Thanks, I'll try again with your solution and let you know.

Thank you, I will follow your advice and keep you informed.
