Dear FreeTDS developer team,
I spent this morning getting freetds 0.60 to build on our systems here
and it proved to be quite an interesting challenge. For some kind of
definition of interesting that contains a lot of loud words.
The gist of it is that if you specify --with-unixodbc this sets up the
-I compiler directive, but not the proper -L linker directives. This
makes building libtdsodbc.so difficult if unixodbc is not installed in
/usr/lib or /lib. Which on my systems is the case.
I've made some changes to the build process to it finally compiled, but
can I ask you guys to add something like this to the build process:
ODBC_LIBS=-L$with_unixodbc/lib
in configure.* and then
libtdsodbc_la_LIBADD= $(TDSOBJECTS) $(ODBC_LIBS) -lodbcinst $(NETWORK_LIBS) $(LIBICONV)
in src/odbc/Makefile.am. You'll need the proper
AC_SUBST(ODBC_LIBS)
as well I guess, or at least $ODBC_LIBS=@ODBC_LIBS@ in strategic places.
Regards,
