Hello everyone,

my name is Yannik from Germany. First of all, thank you for adding me to the
list and I want to thank everyone who has helped me mainly in the freeTDS
GitHub issue section - it must be hard to deal with a C rookie like me.
I am trying to build FreeTDS for MacCatalyst since December 3rd but only with
partial success but I would really like to get it working soon. My problem is
that I familiar with Swift, but not with GNU, C or C++ which is why any help
in debugging would be very appreciated :) I think I am very close to finally
building the library. I have of course gone through the FreeTDS documentation
and read MacOS and MacCatalyst related issues (like Niklas post) in the
mailing list.

- The issue -

I am trying to build FreeTDS 1.3.6 for MacCatalyst using auto tools. The
output I should get should be a libsybdb.a file, but I am only getting a
libsybdb.la <http://libsybdb.la/> file. I have trouble identifying the actual
issue in the log and finding an appropriate solution. Does anybody recognize
the problem and knows how to fix it? I attached my build script and log file.

- My thoughts on the issue (might be irrelevant) -

I can see some fatal errors in the log.
'fatal error: 'sys/eventfd.h' file not found'
and other errors like
'fatal error: 'sql.h' file not found'
concern me, but I don’t know the cause. As you can see in my build script, I
specified where the sql.h, sqlext.h and sqltypes.h files should be by using
—with-odbc-nodm. I did this instead of specifying the unixODBC driver since
it is not built for MacCatalyst which caused errors.

Kind regards,

Yannik
