[pkg-firebird-general] Bug#427181: #427181: php5 - FTBFS: configure: error: libgds, libib_util or libfbclient not found!

[Damyan Ivanov]

Hi,

Sean, I see you've changed php5's build-dependencies from
firebird2-dev to firebird1.5-dev. Thank you for your quick reaction.
Much appreciated.

A few additional points to consider:

* Enabling more architectures
firebird1.5 is currently built on i386, amd64 (you use it on these),
sparc, kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64

You may want to add the last three in the Build-Depends line and in
debian/rules.


* Using firebird2.0-dev instead
Cons: 
- it's a change :)

Pros: 
- 2.0 is the currently recommended "stable" by upstream
- its API is backwards compatible with firebird1.5
- the 2.0 client library can talk to both 1.5 (and 1.0 FWIW) and 2.0
  servers, but has improvements in network protocol efficiency when
  taking to 2.0 servers
- firebird2.0 supports one additional architecture - powerpc

I tried a build against firebird2.0-dev and it built fine.

Attached is a patch with all proposed changes.
