Hiya...

I have been asked to install freetds-0.82 on our AIX 5.2 development server 
in order to access MS SQL servers using Perl and have run into problems.

The configure runs fine but the make falls over with the following;

Any advice would be appreciated. I have tried surfing for some answers and 
found a few things but they seem to be for earlier versions so the fixes may 
be close but not what I need. 

I've seen the comments in the documentation regarding AIX;

AIX®
AIX® can induce linker indigestion. libtool doesn't always understand that a 
.a file can be a shared library. One solution is to build only static 
libraries with the --disable-shared configure option. 

Another problem seems to be that the linker isn't asked to pull in all the 
requisite libraries.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is turning on the --disable-shared a big 
deal for out developers?

This suggested reading the following which seemed close but I cant find the 
line to modify so I'm guessing it has changed since version 0.63...

[freetds] MSSQL on AIX 5.1

Hi All,

I was reading the forum about MS SQL and AIX 5.1.
I was trying to compile FreeTDS on AIX 5.2, and the same error occurs.

I fix the problem to add "../tds/libtds_objects.la -liconv
../replacements/libreplacements.*" at the end of the line of " bin/sh
../../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2", which preceding the ld error.

In fact, the problem occurs dunring the link of apps, and pool.

In fact, all the symbols needed (tds_connect, ....) are declared in
../tds/libtds_objects.la.

I hope it will be useful for your problem on AIX 5.1

Thanks,
Frédéric
