Hi-

I am trying to get firebird from the bazaar working.

Under build methods I don't know the option with the keyboard to add an include directory.
I can only find directories already included. There is no plus symbol that I can click on to add
an extra text control. Running virtualbox with xfce and fedora 27.
I tried clicking the arrow or pressing return. It won't drop down to a blank input field so I can
add the header directory for firebird.

I am also stuck on trying to get the db to connect with firebird.
I tried this:

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
FBSession s;
s.Connect(
"hotchicken",
"localhost",
"sysdba",
"masterkey",
NULL
);
Sql stmt(s);
stmt.SetStatement("Select * from Country");
stmt.Run();

.... more code goes here

It did not connect. I also added a dll to my project where the firebirdTest.cpp file
is located - libfbclient.so. I also replaced masterkey with my passwd.

I don't know if I can't connect because I didn't list the include directory for firebird
under the build methods because the GUI is acting up a little.

Novo was using cmd_line[0] and cmd_line[1] for arguments. Not sure what that was about.
I figured used the same session connect and put in the strings instead of cmd_line[number].

Please assist if you have a moment and any cool ideas.

thx. - mtdew3q
