For Windows you must also set a BOOST_ROOT environment variable which points to the Boost root directory You also need to set a BOOST_LIB_DIR environment variable which points to the directory where the Boost libraries are. c:\boost\lib

For include files i had to move generated includes to match this directory include c:\boost\boost\*hpp

Update boost.m4 to fix building with GCC 5

The old version of boost.m4 included in flamerobin had an issue with gcc5 (one of its tests fails due to the first change described in https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/porting_to.html , "Preprocessor issues"). This was fixed upstream in Nov 2014:

https://github.com/tsuna/boost.m4/commit/32553aaf4d5090da19aa0ec33b936982c685009f

flamerobin's boost.m4 is now updated (and the autotools stuff re-run so aclocal.m4 and configure get the change).

Using of deprecated isc_interprete()

isc_interprete() is now replaced with fb_interpret() in flamerobin.

Thanks to this patch compiling flamerobin is clean of deprecated firebird api warnings (g++ ubuntu 14.04)

Compiling Flamerobin with QT (wxWidgets qt port) experimental

There is a port for wxwidgets on qt (work in progress and still with many gaps)

So this is only proof of concept.

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
cd wxWidgets

mkdir bldqt5
cd bldqt5
../configure --with-qt --enable-debug --enable-compat28 --prefix=/opt/wxqt



then with flamerobin clone git 


./configure --with-wx-config=/wxgt/wx-config --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/flamerobin

make 

it compiles fine :)

you will have an error and you need to add the qt libs when linking 

-lQt5Gui -lQt5Core

Flamerobin starts after a few errors and after that you can see and click the tree with databases and metadata and get the properties.

What doesn't work : db query and grid , you will get a crash

ps: tested on ubuntu 14.04 with qt5

What is next ? Android ;)
