GNOME-DB used to be composed of several components, not all of them being mandatory: libgda, libgnomedb, and mergeant. All of these components have been grouped into one single source package with optionnal compilation of the UI part (so it's still possible to restrict the compilation to the core, non UI part).

libgda has been developped primarily on a Linux OS, but compiles and runs on any Unix system where all their dependencies have been installed (MacOSX included). Starting with version 4.0.0, Microsoft Windows is also supported, please see the GnomeDB on Windows page for more information about that platform (including compiling instructions).

Binary packages

Linux / Unix

This page does not contain any binary distribution of Gnome-DB. Refer to the packages offered by the Linux distribution to install Gnome-DB (I can add links to externally made binary packages, though).

However some Linux distributions contain already installable packages, which can easily be installed.

Windows

As an exercice, some MS Windows packages have been made available at http://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/libgda

A new installer for the GdaBrowser and additional tools (using the NSIS builder) is now available at http://www.gnome.org/~vivien/GdaBrowserSetup.exe. It has been tested on Windows XP and Windows 7; please report any bug you find. Its SHA256 sum is 105efc765225f2e4e882b99c40affd5d4d3031231fd6bc39c0ce55c071238534.
