A few people have emailed me about getting the current cvs version to 
compile, and I've spent sometime figuring out what the problems are. 
Unfortunately, I'm not sure I know enough to find the correct fix, 
but I've got a hackish one that will get it to compile.

The first, and easy, problem is that EILSEQ #defined, but not to a 
value. The TODO list says it needs to be fixed, but until that fix 
happens, freetds won't compile on a system that doesn't define 
EILSEQ. To get around this, I set it via CFLAGS. The following is how 
I ran autogen.sh.

mlilback$CFLAGS=-DEILSEQ=ENOENT ./autogen.sh --with-tdsver=7.0


The next problem is that the final commands that are generated to 
link the shared libraries are passing each library twice on the 
command line. For example, when building in src/tds, $archive_cmds is 
created with both $libobjs and $deplibs containing libtds_objects.al 
and libreplacements.al.

To solve this, after running autogen.sh or configure, edit libtool 
and look for "Do each of the archive commands." It was line 3179 on 
my generated file. Add the following line above it:

        deplibs=`echo "$deplibs" | sed -d 's#\([^ ]*\)\.al##g'`

Then a make will build libtds, libdb, libct, and libodbc. It dies 
building tsql because gethostbyaddr_r is not found. (10.2 doesn't 
support the _r functions.)

I spent a few hours digging through libtool and how it is created, 
but couldn't figure out the process since there are so many options 
and nesting is almost impossible to figure out in the shell scripts. 
If someone has an idea, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I'll post a 
message to a darwin list and see if I can get a helpful reply.
