GNOME Transcript
GNOME Transcript is a SQL database client that aims to provide an easy and powerfull environment for sql user. We designed GNOME Transcript so it could work with different database servers, that is why we use a plugin system to interact with this servers.
Compilation
Before compiling GNOME Transcript, you will need recent copies of gtk and the gnome-libs packages compiled and installed (gtk+-1.2 and gnome>1.0 is the prefered setup).
*** Important ***
This package works with the libgtrans_ifase library and a set of plugins
all found at http://gtranscript.sourceforge.net/
so the installation of all packages must be compatible
Here is the recomended
pick a prefix you like, the prefix will be the base dir of you installation
the default is /usr/local/ but many people prefer /usr.
But make sure you use the same prefix for all if you dont know
what you are doing use the default it works fine.
1.- install libgtrans_ifase
$ tar -xzvf libgtrans_ifase-0.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd libgtrans_ifase-0.2.0
$ configure [--prefix=DIR (optional)]
$ make
** as root **
$ make install
2.- install GNOME-Transcript
tar -xzvf gtranscript-0.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd gtranscript-0.2.0
$ configure [--prefix=DIR (optional)]
$ make
** as root **
$ make install
It is important to install this program, you can not run it
from the source dir because it need pixmaps installed, otherwise
will crash.
3.- install the plguins you would like to use. The available are:
### MySQL support ###
libgtrans_mysql_3_26 : http://gtranscript.sourceforge.net/
Tested only and written using MySQL-3.23.6-alpha,
which you will need, available at www.mysql.com.
Note : You will need a copy of the mysql shared libraries,
version 3.23.6-alpha provides this copies.
### PostgreSQL support ###
libgtrans_postgresql_6_5_3 : http://gtranscript.sourceforge.net/
Tested with postgres 6.4.2 and 6.5.3 but 6.4.2 has some transaction
issues so we recommend 6.5.3. available at www.postgresql.org.
