FMP Tools

Some tools for reading FileMaker Pro files (fp3, fp5, fp7, and fmp12). See the included HACKING file for technical information on the FileMaker format.

Building from the git source first requires autoconf:

autoreconf -i -f

Building from a release requires the usual:

./configure
make
make install

The tools installed to $PREFIX/bin include:

• fmp2excel - Convert a FileMaker Pro database to Excel (requires libxlsxwriter)
• fmp2json - Convert a FileMaker Pro database to JSON (requires yajl)
• fmp2sqlite - Convert a FileMaker Pro database to SQLite (requires sqlite)

There is also a C library installed that is used by the above tools, but the API is subject to change.

You might also enjoy fp5dump, although that project does not read the newer fp7 and fmp12 formats.
