How to build iODBC for Mac OS X
===============================


Method 1: Using Project builder
-------------------------------

You first need to install the latest Mac OS X Developer Packages,
which can be found at:

	http://developer.apple.com/tools


Then, you can open the Xcode Project Builder files under mac/iODBCinst,
mac/iODBC, mac/iODBCtest and mac/iODBCtestw, or execute the following
commands from a terminal session to build all the frameworks and
demo applications:

	$ cd mac
	$ make


After building the iODBC and iODBCinst frameworks, you have to
install them on your system with the command:

	$ cd mac
	$ make install


This installs the iODBCinst and iODBC frameworks into:

	/Library/Frameworks

and the demo applications iodbctest and iodbctest into:

	/Library/Application Support/iODBC/bin


Now that you have installed the iODBC frameworks on your system,
you are able to use ODBC applications or build your own applications
using the iODBC API.


Once you have installed an ODBC driver and configured a DSN, you
will be able to make a connection using the iodbctest command which
is located in:

	/Library/Application Support/iODBC/bin/iodbctest



Method 2: Using configure and make
----------------------------------

The iODBC package can also be build like any other OpenSource package
not using any frameworks.

To build the libraries, open up a terminal session and execute the
following commands:

	$ ./configure
	$ make

To install the header files and libraries in /usr/local, you execute
the following command as administrator:

	$ sudo make install
