Hello,

I am want to use this toolkit on an HP-UX platform. However, I try to compile
the toolkit and after a short period there's an error in the Makefile. I am
using the standard HPUX Make, because we don't have a choice... it's not a
very opensource friendly place... even this TDS project I am slipping in the
backdoor.

Here is the error message: (IN SRC/CTLIB)
Making all in ctlib
Making all in unittests
Make: Don't know how to make /%,.  Stop.
*** Error exit code 1
Stop.
*** Error exit code 1
Stop.

I look at the piece of code which seems to be bombing, and it looks like this:
/usr/local/src/freetds0.51a/src/ctlib/Makefile
libct_la_LIBADD =       $(patsubst %, $(TDSDIR)/%, \
                                $(patsubst %.c, %.lo, $(TDSSOURCES)))
(...SNIP...)
libct_la_DEPENDENCIES =  $(patsubst %, $(TDSDIR)/%, $(patsubst %.c, \
%.lo, $(TDSSOURCES)))

Anyideas. I dont know what this patsubst command is for makefiles.... and why
it is needed for $TDSDIR/* etc etc.... For more information here is the uname
-a of my box:
HP-UX hepdev B.11.00 A 9000/819 1039611351 ten-user license


Best Regards,
