Description

« Hide

Today make install is interactive and ask a password for SYSDBA
to make easier setup, and possibility to run automate build and tests run, we need a switch for make install
(-silent for example)
this will install Firebird without asking anything as input and generate a random password for SYSDBA
the random password will be in a file at the same location than security database

priority target : 2.5.x and 3.0.x

From packages ./install.sh -silent is ok

but if I take sources, do make and then make install -silent
the install is not "silent"
it seems that Makefile.install do not pass the -silent switch to the install.sh script :

install: buildTarDir
(cd $(GEN_ROOT)/$(TarDir); FIREBIRD= FIREBIRD_LOCK= ./install.sh)
cp -r $(GEN_ROOT)/$(DebugDir)/* /

Yes. Make is not intended to do such things. We need one more target - something like 'make silent_install'. Not sure - is it better to reopen this item or add new one?

as it was not a priority, no problem to reopen this one
'make silent_install' would be ok
I guess it is just a small patch to build/install/arch-specific/linux/Makefile.in
adding something like :

silent_install: buildTarDir
(cd $(GEN_ROOT)/$(TarDir); FIREBIRD= FIREBIRD_LOCK= ./install.sh -silent)
cp -r $(GEN_ROOT)/$(DebugDir)/* /
