And how is standalone interface to the Spotify web service a good metaphor for a database application? As a veteran Mac user I'd have preferred a modern version of Hypercard ;)

Anyway, the Kexi build failure yesterday, on a freetds header, was due to a typo. It also wasn't exactly clear how one should set FreeTDS_LIBRARIES (I expected a directory, not the full path to libsybdb!). Now Kexi builds and starts.

It's not very functional though:

I'm guessing the problem is more a result of the empty name than of the fact that my sqlite install isn't found (it seems to be).

How should I proceed? Start a RR with the patches I came up with, and then continue the exchange on there? Or try to figure out more things (like the Karbon/Flow exchange, which is more important for me personally than Kexi) and only then put up a RR?

Cheers,
