This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== Getting Started ======

You should get IBPP source code from our [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibpp|project pages]]
on SourceForge. Go to the files section, and download the latest stable set of source.
The source code is distributed as a zip archive.
Just unzip to a clean directory of your choice.
Have the extraction reconstruct the relative directories from there.

The source code is also available in our Subversion repository which you can
[[http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/ibpp/|browse]]
or access using your favourite port of the svn tools.
On Windows, if you would like to discover a very nice and well-done Subversion client for Windows, we recommend you [[http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org|TortoiseSVN]].
This is an excellent piece of software.
This Subversion client integrates completely with the Windows Explorer UI.
All Subversion interactions are very easy to do and what's more:
the SSH functionnality is built-in! Give it a try.

Along the same lines of recommendations, if you look for a superb GUI for administration
and GUI based interactions with your Firebird databases, do yourself a favor and discover
[[http://www.flamerobin.org|FlameRobin]]! (Yes it is build using IBPP for the database
connectivity, but there is much more talent to it than just IBPP.)

====== Building the 'tests' sample program ======

  *On linux, Mac OS X, and other 'unixes', simply move to the ''tests/unixes'' directory and run ''make'' or ''make DEBUG=1'' to build the tests sample application.
  *On Windows systems, look into the ''tests/vs2005'', ''tests/vs6'', and ''tests/bcb6'' directories for sample batch files and visual projects files for Microsoft and Borland compilers. It should get you started.
