After first trying to compile LibreOffice on my system last week, I just found out today that LibreOffice did not compile on OS X 10.11 <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/BuildingOnMac&diff=116993&oldid=116351> but that disabling Firebird fixed the issue <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/BuildingOnMac&diff=117123&oldid=116998>. It *is* written in bold, but I just went to "Quick pre-canned setup" and expected it to work, but I had to add "--disable-firebird-sdbc" to autogen.input. Is there an entry on Bugzilla? I did not find one. Since I can reproduce the issue on my system, I would like to help fixing it.
First, <https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9af1331c9253426855ac0f3a26e7f4bfff900d61> "For now, firebird doe snot build on macosx 10.11" made building on Mac OS X 10.11 default to --disable-firebird-sdbc (while all other environments defaulted to --enable-firebird-sdbc).
Then, <https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=19ec3c5e2230f982789f18c8e7bf77eabef68ad0> "firebird compat issue with macosx 10.11 was fixed by sberg some time ago" erroneously assumed that the underlying problem had gone and that --enable-firebird-sdbc could be made the default again on Mac OS X 10.11, too. But what the commit actually did was erroneously make --disable-firebird-sdbc the default in /all/ environments.
Then, <https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a67d5c7604e8c420f6d63df89f04e33f940f952a> "Make --enable-firebird-sdbc the default again" fixed the previous commit, and made --enable-firebird-sdbc the general default again. It did not bother to re-introduce a special case for Mac OS X 10.11, though.
