I'm working with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 talking to a Sybase 15 server  
running on Solaris 10.

RC1 has problems in that the applications do not build on OS X.  The  
problem is in the applications area.  Building without the apps works  
fine and the libraries are functional.

Using the 20080131 CVS snapshot, that problem is resolved and  
everything build and appears to run fine.

However, sqsh doesn't build.  It can't find BLK_VERSION_120,  
BLK_VERSION_125 and BLK_VERSION_150.  Defining them in sqsh file  
cmd_bcp.c as:
#define BLK_VERSION_120 BLK_VERSION_100
#define BLK_VERSION_125 BLK_VERSION_100
#define BLK_VERSION_150 BLK_VERSION_100

works and allow sqsh to build and function (this workaround was  
mentioned in the sqsh forum back in October for Linux).  It looks to  
me like sqsh is expecting them to be defined in FreeTDS in cspublic.h  
(BLK_VERSION_100 and BLK_VERSION_110 are already defined there).

So far, the limited testing I have been able to do with the CVS  
snapshot on Mac OS X, everything seems to be working ok.  sqsh works  
(with the above patch), fisql works, the Sybase-python connection  
package works, ODBC works.


As far as Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 goes, FreeTDS seems to build ok.   
Unfortunately, I likely won't have a way to really test it for a few  
weeks.


Thus far, the CVS snapshot on Mac OS X appears to be better than RC1.
