libfreetds.a not built for OS X anymore

[drd27]

Hi Martin

Your SQLClient wrapper has been very useful so far. Thanks!

I know it is "for iOS" but until libfreetds.a was updated a month ago, things built fine on OS X.

However now: "URGENT: building for OSX, but linking in object file libfreetds.a(dblib.o) built for iOS. Note: This will be an error in the future."

Earlier you indicated you built freetds using a build.sh here: https://github.com/patchhf/FreeTDS-iOS

But that repo is gone (and ... for iOS).

Do you have a libfreetds.a build for OS X?

I have a fork at https://github.com/martinrybak/FreeTDS-iOS. Can you submit a PR for updating it for OS X?

I finally got that to run, but it builds libsybdb.a. I can see why it does, but I had expected this to build libfreetds.a. Obviously I am missing something here. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated

That's what the FreeTDS binary is normally called. In SQLClient I simply renamed it to libfreetds. I'll rename it there for consistency.

Hi Martin

Thanks for responding to my GH issue ;-)

I wish I could submit a pull request, but whatever I try I cannot get freetds to compile on osx ;-(

Hi Martin Thanks for clearing that up. Still no joy in getting freetds to build for OS X, let alone a universal binary as before. Did fwaddle have anything to offer? Thanks for your continued interest! Dennis

Hi Dennis, The issue is that since Xcode 7 (I think), Apple wants you to build a specific version for OSX whereas you used to be able to use the binary that was built for the simulator - that is no longer allowed. The build script needs to be updated to handle that.

Hi Martin / Fwaddle

Spent two hours trying to patch lib_build.sh with what seems needed from the openSSL macosx example script... and failed. My experience with this amounts to zero, making this quite hard. I am sorry.

Hi Dennis,

I've had a crack at the build script (see my pull request) but it's not well tested. I ran it here and it seems to work but I don't have much time to plug the lib file into my project and seeing if it's actually correct.

Hi @fwaddle many thanks for that! Please see my response here: https://github.com/martinrybak/FreeTDS-iOS/pull/2#issuecomment-257823671
