README
---------------------------------------------------------------

Building With GNU Auto Tools (by Nick):

	It looks as if Darwin (Mac OSX) doesn't support the normal
	dlopen type process that unixODBC requires. However help is
	at hand in the form of dlcompat-20010831.tar.gz. This file
	contains wrappers to emulate the calls. I have put this in
	
	ftp://ftp.easysoft.com/pub/beta/unixODBC/dlcompat-20010831.tar.gz
	
	It should be downloaded, unpacked then run make install
	
	This should be done before configuring unixODBC
	
	This file was created by Christoph Pfisterer <cp@chrisp.de> and
	the original copy can be found at 
	
	    http://fink.sourceforge.net
	
	If you get a "ld: multiple definitions of symbol " error, 
	then you should edit the file libtool in the unixODBC base 
	directory and find the line
	
	    whole_archive_flag_spec="-all_load \$convenience"
	
	and replace it with
	
	    whole_archive_flag_spec=
	
	As at the time of writing, Qt is not available on OSX, its best to
	disable the search for X libs that may fail, by configuring with
	
	    ./configure --enable-gui=no


Building With Qt qmake (by Peter):

	Qt is now availible for OSX but unixODBC may not detect your Qt
	libs... worse yet you may not be able sort out the GNU auto-tools
	required to build on OSX.
	
	If you want to build using qmake then read README.qmake.
	

Creating Install Packages:

	unixODBC contains a number of directories and files to help create
	OSX Packages. The process of doing so is not nearly as automated 
	as creating RPM files using the GNU auto tools. Look for the
	mac-install and mac-package directories.
