| NOTE: Because use of libstdc++ is now deprecated Mac OS X users should be aware that Firebird 2.5.8 will run only on Mac OS X 10.9 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. |
