I can't even compile it under FreeBSD.
Some time later...
Well, seems like you need glib which is in FreeBSD ports (devel/glib12) and
link /usr/local/bin/glib-config to glib2-config and use gmake.
Now it is time to test it. how do I do it? :-)
Any plans to support UnixODBC too? (already mailed author of UnixODBC to
check freetds)
I installed in into unixodbc with odbcinst, but when I try to use it I get
this:
[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib
'/usr/local/freetds/lib/libtdsodbc.so' : /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtd
