Current FreeTDS source only supports autoconf 2.53 and later.  As far as I
can tell, there is no way to support earlier versions without breaking
support for 2.54.

The first thing to try is just setting "AM_PREREQ(2.52) in configure.in.
The LTLIBOBJS hack I committed yesterday for 2.53 compatibility may in fact
work on slightly earlier versions too (it definitely doesn't work with 2.13,
but I didn't try intervening versions).  If this works, let me know and I'll
relax this restriction.

If that doesn't help, maybe you could try upgrading autoconf and leaving
everything else as provided by Apple.

Cheers,

To compile on Mac OS X, you have to have the developer tools 
installed, which install all the autotools. Autoconf is 2.52 and 
automake is 1.61. libtool is Apple's own version) and doesn't support 
--version as an argument. However, the gnu version is installed as 
glibtool, which is version 1.4.2.

I have to go into the office right now, but I'll try to make the time 
today to do a fresh pull from cvs and figure out what has to happen 
to get it to compile on Mac OS X 10.2. I also have a dev box with 
with 10.1 on it, which I can try it on, too.

I've been banging with getting ODBC to work at all (any driver), so 
this would be a good break for me.
