Re: OSX distribution

Frediano,

That tarball fixes the compile issue at least on Mac OS X 10.11.x (El Capitan).  Thanks!!!

It turns out the problem would only occur when compiling FreeTDS with iodbc.  It was fine compile with unixodbc.  I finally tracked down 'why' it occurs.

In iodbc, the sql.h include calls sqltypes.h which calls iodbcunix.h which has a conditional definition of BYTE:
#if defined (OBSOLETE_WINDOWS_TYPES)    
typedef unsigned char		BYTE;
#endif


In unixodbc, the sql.h include calls sqltypes.h which contains an unconditional definition of BYTE:
typedef unsigned char		BYTE;

So, the compile would fail using iodbc apparently due to OBSOLETE_WINDOWS_TYPES not being defined anywhere, but would work using unixodbc.

I was just about to report the exact same issue when I saw Ryan's mail.


Again, thank you very much for all the work.

Merle
