Re: compiling psqlodbc for unixodbc -- problems

I had this problem on OSX,

it has to do with the compiler finding the similarly named file
"sql.h" in the psql includes directory instead of your unixodbc
includes directory.

What happened is that somehow the /usr/local/psql/includes directory
comes before /usr/local/includes in the compiler string and it finds
the psql version of sql.h first.

For me it was as simple as renaming the
/usr/local/psql/includes/sql.h file to something else (BEWARE! your
mileage may vary!) I must not have used some of those flags in that
file (many define parameters in that file), so that when the compiler
searched the directory /usr/local/psql/includes and didn't find
sql.h, it continued on to /usr/local/includes.

You should check the HACKERS list for further information on the
progress of this. I believe it is in discussion.
