FireDAC.Phys.FB causes e2597 in Android 28

[GreatDayDan 0]

I am porting a Win32 with FB app to Android. 

When the datamodule uses FireDAC.Phys.FB the Linker fails with 

 

[DCC Error] E2597 c:\\program files (x86)\\embarcadero\\studio\\20.0\\lib\\Android\\Release\libibtogo.a(fun.o): In function `FUN_evaluate':
  /builds/InterBase_ANDROID_TOGO_IB2017/super/jrd/fun.c:277: undefined reference to `abs'
  c:\\program files (x86)\\embarcadero\\studio\\20.0\\lib\\Android\\Release\libibtogo.a(fun.o): In function `FUN_resolve':
  /builds/InterBase_ANDROID_TOGO_IB2017/super/jrd/fun.c:947: undefined reference to `abs'
 

 

Is this because Android does not support FB? Can I use Interbase?

 

Is there a solution for this?

 

Thanks...Dan'l

libibtogo.a is the interbase "embeded" client for android. Firebird does support android. But the build is seen as experimental

Well, the "experiment" failed on my PC.

 

I installed FB 3. I get the same error. Bummer.

If you can use Sqlite, its working fine.

Take care to remova any FB reference, even unused, to avoid this msg.

I was hoping that I could use the FB database. Bummer. Guess I will just have to migrate data and metadata to Sqlite or to MySql.

BTW, which would be better, Sqlite or MySql?

On mobile I would recommend Sqlite, its small, preinstalled and less "headache" DB.
