URGENT HELP NEEDED. after gambas update I lost the most important application

[BruceSteers]

Aah sorry my mistake.

Told you i didn't understand it

I neither use it or understand it but Db2 mostly uses mongodb

If you look at the later fedora packages needed for mongodb perhaps they are available on the older fedora.

Ideally you need to update that machine.
Not being able to update due to one program means likely many compatibility issues ahead, you need an alternative to that program.

Can't you make one with Gambas?

The issue that keeps me on fedora 29 is this system is running zoneminder. zoneminder is why I can't do upgrades. The software underwent updates that broke many many many things. Updating the system will require updates to zoneminder and that will effectively shut down the zoneminder system do it also updating. I have been on with the zoneminder people and they denied they had any issues even when shown proof, but they did offer to fix those non-existent errors for a tidy little fee. So I have that system with some special things to keep it functional for the future.

I have looked into replacing it with something I could write in gambas but that is a huge project I do not have the time or resources for. I would love to do it though.

I compiled gambas for that system but no idea where I got the source to compile from so that is what I seek and hoping that could find just the parts I need but if I need to recompile the whole thing that is fine as long as I can find the source again.

You could start here: https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/install
All is explained, even how to pull the source code with proper tag from gitlab.

Each tag is a version, current latest tag is 3.20.4, but you can go for any version you prefer to compile on that system.
If parts don't compile because libraries might be too old or missing, you can disable those components that it says that will not compile,
db2 should not be a problem as requirements are like db + extra gambas parts.
