How did you and others get it to build on OSX? I had to add an argument
to the configure command to get it to build. I actually told it that the
host system was linux. It didn't know how to deal with darwin. As for
getting it to work with PHP, well, when I built FreeTDS it built static
libraries and I assume it was statically linked into the PHP module. PHP
doesn't tell me that the sybase_* and mssql_* functions aren't defined,
but it does give a Warning saying "Sybase: Could not connect to host" or
something like that.
Any ideas?
