The pxtools are a set of tools to convert a Paradox-database into a SQL-database (MySQL, PostgreSQL), CSV or XML. These are a few changes I needed to make to get it to work

The pxtools are a set of tools to convert a Paradox-database into a SQL-database. This is a fork of https://github.com/ustramooner/pxtools, which is derived from the original pxtools, which used to be found at http://www.kneschke.de/projekte/paradox/ (it is now a 404). Original author: mailto:[email protected] pxTools ======= pxinfo ------ dumps the basic infomations of the given paradox-file. pxsqldump --------- Parses the Paradox-database and dump the corresponding SQL-strings (CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO) on stdout. use -n to overwrite the tablename. use -f to specify the filename of t pxcsvdump --------- Parses the Paradox-database and dump the corresponding CSV-strings on stdout. use -n to overwrite the tablename. Supported Field Types ===================== Currently the following field-types are recognized: ALPHA DATE SHORTINT LONGINT CURRENCY NUMBER LOGICAL TIMESTAMP MEMOBLOB the rest is currenly not supported. mail me if you need more. Problems ======== Y2K --- Paradox-files are NOT Y2K-safe. Currently there is a workarund for this bug in pxconvert.c that adds 100 years if the date is before 1.1.1970. Index-files ----------- The information you get out of the index-files by pxsqldump is not rellay usefull. It all the data it can find, but the header is currently parsed wrong. Anyway these index-files are not needed to convert a paradox-database into a SQL-database. (PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY can't be detected yet.) TIMESTAMP --------- The field-type TIMESTAMP returned by pxsqldump has a precission of +/- 1 second.
I feel there's a need for build instructions since this repo doesn't come with the paradigmal ./configure.
Also, there's a weirdness in that both po/makefile.in and po/Makefile.in.in are needed.
For latest commit 53c164b from 14 Sep 2015, this is what worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04:
git clone https://github.com/ustramooner/pxtools.git
cd pxtools
apt install automake gettext
cp po/Makefile.in.in po/Makefile.in
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
The README says:
pxcsvdump
---------
Parses the Paradox-database and dump the corresponding CSV-strings on
stdout.
use -n to overwrite the tablename.
The flag -n is not implemented (it wasn't also in the original source)
I am trying to compile the code, I guess something is broken since the pull request that updated autotools.
I am on ubuntu 15.10 with autoconf version 2.69-8
$ ./autogen.sh

When using the code from 522fedb, it does compile without issues, everything is working fine (altought not using autotools)
