libfreetds.a not built for OS X anymore #32
Description
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?

Hi Martin
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
SQLClientI simply renamed it tolibfreetds. I'll rename it there for consistency.drd27 commentedon Oct 25, 2016
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!

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.
