That's not necessary.  The changes have already been made for you.  All
you need to do is pick up the latest snapshot.

    javac -g -d . tds.java

Those aren't errors, they're warnings.  The driver can be used with any
version of the JDK which supports JDBC.  Be sure you're using the latest
version of the source code.

No, it's a standard makefile.  You must modify some of the settings as
appropriate to match your environment (depending on such things as which
compiler you're using), but it should work with any standard make
utility.  If you're working in a Windows environment (it helps to
provide such information when you ask questions on the list) and don't
have access to `make' then you need to take a look at README.windows.
