Try running your configure with

env LDFLAGS='-Wl,-brtl' ./configure ....

Then "making" again.

Forthe curious, it looks like you are using the IBM linker that needs
different flags for
shared libraries.

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.
---------End Quote ----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Frédéric Le Guillou frederic.leguillou at cegedim.fr Mon Aug 9 07:15:19 EDT 2004
Previous message: [freetds] FreeTDS 0.63 and OpenOffice Next message: [freetds] Inserting empty strings into MS SQL Server Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]

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
