Eric, 

AFAIK, you can't use a Gnu Makefile with Visual Anything.  The good news is
you don't have to.  

FreeTDS helps people get from Unix environments to Sybase/Microsoft
databases.  If your client is on a Microsoft OS, I think you already have
what you need i.e., a jdbc-dbco bridge.  I found this in the MS docs:

Note   JDBC is a technology for accessing SQL database data from a Java
client program. Microsoft offers a JDBC-to-ODBC bridge that allows Java
programmers to access back-end data sources using available ODBC drivers.
The Microsoft JDBC-ODBC bridge is part of the core set of classes that come
with the Microsoft Virtual Machine (Microsoft VM) for Java. For more
information, see www.microsoft.com/java/.

If you're using the Sun VM, their jdbc-dbco bridge is documented at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/index.html.  

If I completely misunderstood your point, please correct me.  Hope this
helps.

Subject: [freetds] Compiling latest source with JDK 1.3


Hey I'm trying to compile the latest JDBC source with the JDK1.3.

I'm new to this so can someone explaing how to use the Makefile
I have MS Visual Studio 6.0.
I tried using the nmake makefile or just nmake
and I get the following errors
Makefile(12) : fatal error U1036: syntax error : too many names to left of
'=' stop.

Also,
  will the jdbc driver work with SQL Server 7 and SQL Server 2000
especially with Java 1.3 release on Windows 2000?

Thanks for any info
