Hey Nick,

I tried getting it from CVS, I was able to get all the files but the build
wouldn't work I kept getting

**Error**: You must have `libtool' installed.
Get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool-1.2d.tar.gz
(or a newer version if it is available)

**Error**: You must have `automake' installed.
Get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake-1.3.tar.gz
(or a newer version if it is available)

I checked libtool is installed.  It's a version by apple, it doesn't return
--version so the script fails
there.  'automake' isn't installed on Macintosh OS X.

So I tried using the old files, dropping in freetds/src/tds/asprintf.c,
running the ./configure and
make.  I get

mv -f .libs/asprintf.lo asprintf.lo
/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link cc  -g -O2 -DTDS50  -o libtds.la -rpath

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
PS: I got the nightly snapshot, ran ./configure, make. It gave me the
previous error about asprintf.c.
also I double checked on the man commands

[localhost:ddsdds/desktop/freetds] root# man vasprintf
man: no entry for vasprintf in the manual.
[localhost:ddsdds/desktop/freetds] root# man asprintf
man: no entry for asprintf in the manual.

Dunno if it matters.  I'm on Macintosh OS 10.1.5.

I had a few minutes to rewrite our asprintf.c tonight.  If you update from
current CVS it should all Just Work.  (If you can't do CVS, then wait until
the next tarball generation and try that).  If you have any problems, let
me
know.

You almost certainly won't have any problem.  The implementation in our
tree
was mistakenly being used even if the system already provided an
implementation.  When I updated our implementation, I noticed this and
fixed
the autoconf stuff so it will do the right thing.  (asprintf.c now includes
config.h so that it will see the HAVE_VASPRINTF macro...)

Cheers,
--nick

I knew I needed to test 0.63, but didn't get the time with 9/11 last
week...

Nothing.

They are both implemented. Here's the relevant portions from the man page:

      Asprintf() and vasprintf() set *ret to be a pointer to a buffer
suffi-
      ciently large to hold the formatted string.  This pointer should be
      passed to free(3) to release the allocated storage when it is no
longer
      needed.  If sufficient space cannot be allocated, asprintf() and
      vasprintf() will return -1 and set ret to be a NULL pointer.

...
HISTORY
      The functions asprintf() and vasprintf() first appeared in the GNU C
      library.  These were implemented by Peter Wemm <peter AT FreeBSD.org> in
      FreeBSD 2.2, but were later replaced with a different implementation
from
      Todd C. Miller <Todd.Miller AT courtesan.com> for OpenBSD 2.3.

Nothing in BUGS about it.

vasprintf(3).

There is /usr/bin/pagesize and the function getpagesize() in unistd.h
which return the number of bytes in a page.
