| NOTE: To make the new engine work properly under multi-threaded conditions we had to use Grand Central Dispatch, which was first released in Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Mac OS X users should be aware that Firebird 2.5 will run only on Mac OS X 10.6 or higher versions. If you want to use an earlier version of OS X you will need to use an earlier version of Firebird. "lipo" are the 64-bit Firebird Server with client libs as fat lib (32 and 64 bits). See here for examples. |
