Hello all:

I'm trying to compile a sybase client C program using Compaq C V6.4-005 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1 against FreeTDS 0.61_2 downloaded from <http://www.freetds.org>. We're trying to use it to replace the no longer valid sybase openclient for openvms.

When I compile a program, I'm getting errors like the following (please forgive line wrapping):

-------------------------
cc /decc tsslistener -
/STAND=VAXC/FLOAT=IEEE_FLOAT/WARNING=(DISABLE=(LONGEXTERN,MISSINGRETURN,PROTOSCOPE))-
/INCLUDE=(CTS_PROGRAMMER:[PSPINLER.SRC.FREETDS.FREETDS-0_61_2.INCLUDE],CTS:[SOURCE.INCLUDE])

openClientStatus=ct_con_props(pConnection,CS_SET,CS_USERNAME,gpTSSListenerUsername,CS_NULLTERM,NULL);
.....................................................^
%CC-E-BADMCRORECURS, Recursive expansion of macro "CS_USERNAME" exceeded 1024 levels and was terminated.
at line number 664 in file CTS:[SOURCE.CPP.TSS_LISTENER]TSSLISTENER.C;5
-------------------------

CS_USERNAME happens to be defined in freetds's include file CSPUBLIC.H as the following:

-------------------------
/* Properties */
enum {
CS_USERNAME = 1,
/* These defines looks weird but programs can test support for defines,
compiler can check enum and there are no define side effecs */
#define CS_USERNAME CS_USERNAME
-------------------------

Can anyone suggest how I can work around this and other, similar compilation issues with the definitions CS_PASSWORD, CS_HOSTNAME, and the apparently non-existing CS_SERVERNAME constants ?

Thanks,
-- Pat
