I need to export data from Firebird to a CSV file. When I used Google, I found the FBExport tool. I need to install this tool on my CentOS 6 machine. I am using CentOS Server. How do I install FBExport in my terminal? Is there any proper documentation for this?

I’m using CentOS 6.

I have unzipped the file and after that I couldn’t find any installation file. I am a Linux beginner please help me.

After unzipped the file , i tried to run the fbexport file, but the result is ‘command not found’.

    1. Create a folder in your terminal and execute the below code

      git clone https://github.com/mariuz/fbexport`
      
    2. open Fbexport folder and execute the below command

      make all;
      
    3. If you face any error like g++ command not found then run the below command

      yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
      
    4. Again execute the command make all, if you face any error like cannot find - lfbclient then do the following commands

      sudo -i;
      cd /lib64
      ln -s  libfbclient.so.2.5.9 libfbclient.so
      
    5. Execute make all command.


  2. You can use the Makefile to install. If you have make installed, you can use:

    make install
    

    Alternatively, you should ensure that the exe/fbexport file is executable and run that.

    That said, it was compiled in 2009, so possible it will not run as-is, and you may need to compile from source yourself. That means installing GCC in addition to make. You’ll also need to have the Firebird client libraries installed. Then use:

    make clean
    make all
    make install
    

    NOTE: I haven’t actually followed these steps myself, and I don’t know if the code is still compilable on recent compiler versions.
