gmdb2

This is the official GUI for mdbtools. gmdb2 lets you open, inspect, and export Microsoft Access databases (.mdb and .accdb files) on Mac and Unix machines.

This standalone package (which was included with mdbtools prior to version 0.9.0) is considered beta-quality software. Originally written by Brian Bruns in the early 2000s, the software was recently ported to GTK+3 and has been tested on Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD.

Installing

gmdb2 is available as package on these platforms:

MacPorts:

sudo port install gmdb2

FreeBSD:

sudo pkg install databases/gmdb2

Building from a release:

Building gmdb2 from a release requires:

• mdbtools 0.9.0 or later
• GTK+ 3.22 or later
• gawk and yelp (for documentation)

Download, extract and then run:

./configure
make
make install

mdbtools and gtk3 need to be in a place where pkg-config can find them.

Building from GitHub

To build the latest code from GitHub, you will need a few extra tools, namely

• autoconf
• automake
• gettext
• yelp-tools

With these packages installed, run

autoreconf -f -i

Then as before

./configure
make
make install
