I have developed an application in LO Base in Mageia, and this application runs OK under Win 10 and 11 (PC of my customer). I use the advanced embedded firebird for it as database.
I wanted to see what this does in TW, as the Mageia-built rpm’s show a problem in LO Base reports.
But no joy in TW, when I start a form refereing the database, I get “no option for SDBC:embedded:firebird”. And firebird seems to be missing completely from the TW repos (Yast tells me that).
Am I overlooking something???
The standalone firebird package got removed 4 years ago from Factory and Tumbleweed.
LibreOffice for Tumbleweed is built without Firebird support.
Too bad for me.
Has anyone had any experience in installing the rpm’s provided by LO itself? That’s how I handle the issue in Mageia now.
