Good day,

I'm having troubles compiling FreeTDS 1.3-dev with unixODBC 2.3.7 as a
driver on AIX 7.2.
Although the previous versions seem to work fine, it seems the 1.3-dev
version has a new set of dependencies.
Here is the error message generated by the "autogen.sh" script :

# ./autogen.sh
which: 0652-141 There is no autoreconf in /usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin
/usr/ucb /usr/bin/X11 /sbin /usr/java7_64/jre/bin /usr/java7_64/bin.
running in /dbs/64bits/ftm/tmp/freetds1.3-dev/freetds:
./autogen.sh[31]: autoreconf:  not found.
./autogen.sh[31]: autoreconf:  not found.

The issue is that i cannot compile autoreconf on this system due to some
vicious circle :
1. autoconf requires a newer version of m4;
2. m4 requires a newer version of automake;
3. automake requires a newer version of m4.

Am i missing something ?
Is that combination of OS / Software version not supported ?

Thank you.
