README
---------------------------------------------------------------
It seems at least with 10.5 of OSX, that we can just configure as
normal (--enable-gui=no) and build, no special instructions are
needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------
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.unixodbc.org/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
Problems:
There is a problem it seems with libtool on OSX that incorrectly sets
the SHLIBEXT. The Driver Manager code will now report this if its used
in this condition. There are two solutions. Either after running configure
check config.h, and search for the string SHLIBEXT. It should look like this:
#define SHLIBEXT ".dylib"
But may look like this:
#define SHLIBEXT "test .$module = .yes && echo .so || echo .dylib"
If it does, then change it to the first definition.
The other fix is to change the configure script to find the correct value,
search for the line:
shrext_cmds='test .$module = .yes && echo .so || echo .dylib'
And change to
shrext_cmds=`test .$module = .yes && echo .so || echo .dylib`
Then rerun configure
It also seems that Makefile.,svn needs some help, this thread seems to cover
it and solutions.

Building With Qt qmake (by Peter):
Qt is now available 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.
Cursor LIB
The cursor lilb needs a manual stage build to create it as a OSX bundle
it needs to be like that so the DM can load it at run time.
To do this, after the "make" and "make install" have finished, go to the
cur directory in the build tree. Then there issue these commands
cc -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o libodbccr.1.0.0.so *.lo
cp libodbccr.1.0.0.so /usr/local/lib/libodbccr.1
Replace /usr/local/lib/ in the above with whatever your actual unixODBC
lib path is.
You may also have to do the same with any driver you build. You can check
this by testing the type of the lib, for example.
file /usr/local/lib/libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so
/usr/local/lib/libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so: Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
This is not the correct type.
So to get it as you need :-
cd Drivers/Postgre7.1
cc -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so *.lo
cp libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so /usr/local/lib/libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so
Now to check
file /usr/local/lib/libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so
/usr/local/lib/libodbcpsql.2.0.0.so: Mach-O bundle ppc
Thats how it should be to work under the driver manager
