This driver can be used +by Kexi's migration framework to convert simple Access +databases in to native Kexi databases. + +Requirements: +To compile the following software is needed: + * the kdelibs development files; + * the kexi development files; + * GLib 2.0 development files; and + * g++, gcc, make, ... +These will may be packaged for your distribution with names +similar to kdelibs-devel, libkexi-devel and libglib2.0-devel. +You should not need the libkexi-devel package if you have compiled +and installed Kexi from source. + +Installation: +If you downloaded this packages as a source tarball +(in a file called something like keximdb-X.Y.tar.gz), +then it can be compiled and installed as follows: + ./configure --enable-debug + make + make install + +Note that the --enable-debug option is recommended for now. + +Further Information: +If you have any problems, feel free to contact the author +using the e-mail address below, or post your question to the +koffice-devel list, or ask on the #kexi IRC channel... + +Please contact the Kexi developers if you intend to package +this software for your distribution.
