Title: RE: Freetds works on HPUX

Hi All

On Monday (Oct 14), I was able to successfully build and install FreeTDS along with DBD::Sybase on HP UX 11.00.

I also executed a sample Perl program to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database.
Bingo!  it worked. I got the data successfully from the database.

It all went fine except that I was unable to use the "threadsafe" option.
I am not sure if really need to use that "threadsafe"  option.

I guess you can now include HP-UX 11.00 as a working platform for freetds.

Cheers
Venkat

James,
        good news.

All tests passed (except for t0022, which seems normal on MS SQL 7.0 SP3 from what I read in previous messages).

> ./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory

There must have been a problem with the last build as my ltconfig was zero length when I unpacked the archive.  Didn't notice until libtool wasn't found during the make, I cut and shut a few bits from yesterdays version, and got it compiling.

I haven't tried the threadsafe option yet (I think there may be a problem there, as the configure script 'seems' to be picking the wrong prototypes, I could be wrong have tried it yet).

here's some output from the configure script
-----------------------------------------------
checking for which type of gethostbyname_r... checking for gethostbyname_r... yes
six
checking for getservbyname_r... checking for getservbyname_r... yes
six
checking for which type of gethostbyaddr_r... checking for gethostbyaddr_r... yes
seven
done
-----------------------------------------------

The reason I say this is
gethostbyname_r takes three params
getservbyname_r takes four params
gethostbyaddr_r takes five params

...and when I modified the original configure script and added the libd4r, it printed three, four and five.

But, aside from that, IT WORKS!!!!

Mark.
