Thread: ODBC on OSX

ODBC on OSX

From
Peter Harvey
Date:
I have made binary distributions of;

- unixODBC 
- PostgreSQL Driver
- MySQL Driver

availible to the public at http://www.codebydesign.com/DataArchitect.

These binary distributions are based upon Open Source code which was 
configured and built on the Mac OSX.

All distributions use the standard Mac installer to ensure that they are as 
easy to install as possible. Furthermore; the drivers are auto-registered 
during their install using the unixODBC odbcinst command-line tool.

The graphical parts of unixODBC, including the driver config dialogs, are 
supported by a Qt runtime which also installs using the standard Mac 
installer. The GUI stuff needs to be tweeked a bit but it appears to be quite 
usefull.

This work was done as part of the development of Data Architect. It is hoped 
that it is usefull to others.

Please support the development of open clients for data access by purchasing 
a copy of Data Architect.

Peter

BTW: I used qmake to build these in order to bypass the current GNU auto-tool 
confusion on OSX. The qmake project files and my notes are in the unixODBC 
cvs at Source Forge.
