I am a newbie to freeTDS, (Please excuse the spam. I am sure someone has
come across this & can point me in the correct direction).

 

I have used sqsh in the past (against Sybase . Kool product!)

 

Now I am in a MSSQL environment and want sqsh desparately ..  So I installed
cygwin !  I'll show bill gates!

Then freeTDS,  tsql works great!  THANKS!

 

Then downloaded SQSH, configure went ... ok


set SYBASE=/usr/local ( default path )

changed makefile in src directory as recommend to
SYBASE_LIBS = -lct -lm -ldl

cool!
make complies all sourcecode, but linking cannot find 
libdl

cygwin does not have libdl.a in the distribution! Hmmmmm
