I have an Apple IMAC (running 10.5.5 - leopard) which I would like to
use to run perl queries to an MS SQL Server Database.
I am having problems compiling the DBD::SYBASE perl module with the
latest freetds (0.82) installed from mac ports.
The error I receive is the following:
dbdimp.c: In function 'syb_init':
dbdimp.c:777: error: 'BLK_VERSION_150' undeclared (first use in this
function)
dbdimp.c:777: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once)
dbdimp.c:777: error: for each function it appears in.)
dbdimp.c:781: error: 'BLK_VERSION_125' undeclared (first use in this
function)
dbdimp.c:785: error: 'BLK_VERSION_120' undeclared (first use in this
function)
I was able to install DBD::SYBASE on a Macbook. The only difference was
the version of freetds (The Macbook has freetds version 0.64 installed
and the IMac has freetds version 0.94 installed).
I did notice that the freetds file for version 0.94 has these additional
lines in the 'cspublic.h' file (located at /opt/local/include/freetds)
which are not found in the same file (cspublic.h) in the freetds 0.64
version):
#define CS_VERSION_120 1100
#define CS_VERSION_125 12500
#define CS_VERSION_150 15000
Both versions of freetds did have the following in the 'cspublic.h' file:
#define BLK_VERSION_100 CS_VERSION_100
#define BLK_VERSION_110 CS_VERSION_100
Here are lines (775 through 786 in the dbdimp.c file -- lines giving the
error from the make):
#if defined(CS_VERSION_150)
if(cs_ver == CS_VERSION_150)
BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_150;
#endif
#if defined(CS_VERSION_125)
if(cs_ver == CS_VERSION_125)
BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_125;
#endif
#if defined(CS_VERSION_120)
if(cs_ver == CS_VERSION_120)
BLK_VERSION = BLK_VERSION_120;
#endif
Both freetds packages (on the macbook and on the imac) were installed
via MacPorts.
I would prefer to use the latest freedts which is why I hesitate to
install the older version.
Thanks in advance for any help!
