Who's maintaining the ODBC configure and build stuff?
There's a grave issue with ODBC linking in all kinds of makefiles,
templates, header files, etc. from the main Postgres configure process.
That creates problems for both sides: The main tree couldn't care less
what ODBC needs tested and defined since it claims to have it's own
configure script.
I don't have a problem with ODBC having it's own configure script, if
that's what's desired, but then it needs to be used unconditionally.
Running the standalone and the integrated show at the same time doesn't
work.
I'd be more than happy to help fixing these issues but I just want to ask
first who knows anything about it. One particular question is where the
authorative source is: is it the PostgreSQL CVS or is it this
psqlodbc-x.y.z.tar.gz file, whereever that came from?
(Incidentally, I think the ODBC thing is simple enough to just use
Automake on it and be done with it. Then we don't need any templates or
port makefiles or whatever.)
