DOWNLOAD

Distribution Format

unixODBC is currently availible in a gzip, tar format. This means that you should;

1. copy the unixODBC-2.3.4.tar.gz file somewhere you can create files and directories 
2. gunzip unixODBC*.tar.gz 
3. tar xvf unixODBC*.tar

Doing so will create a unixODBC directory with all source files inside.

Via HTTP: unixODBC-2.3.4.tar.gz

MD5 (bd25d261ca1808c947cb687e2034be81): unixODBC-2.3.4.tar.gz.md5

For software that still needs it, 2.3.0 is also available for download unixODBC-2.3.0

Source Access

Public SVN access is also availible for those that want the very latest sources (bleeding edge).

So you may want to use these commands, When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key

svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/unixodbc/code/trunk unixodbc

Developers of unixODBC work from this SVN so the state of the sources in there will vary.

To build from the tree downloaded by svn, run the following command (in the root of the downloaded tree)

make -f Makefile.svn

This will build the configure script.

To build from SVN, you need some current tools, these are what we recommend:

• automake 1.11
• autoconf 2.6.4
• libtool 2.2.6

These can be found from the GNU web site or its many mirrors.

Make the Libraries and Programs

The install uses the standard GNU autoconf process. So its simply a matter of running

./configure 
make 
make install

By default the files are installed into /usr/local. As is usual with configure, this location can be changed by altering the prefix option to configure. i.e.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/unixODBC

This will install the lib, bin, include and etc directories in /usr/local/unixODBC/lib etc.

To conform with the GNU guidelines the odbcinst file is now installed by default in {prefix}/etc, this can be altered using the --sysconfdir option to configure. To install the files in the old default /etc you would run configure like this

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc

RPM's

if you want some RPMS have a look at the sourceforge project page.

Andre Felipe Machado has also made up some RPM's for use with the version 7.0 and 8.0 version of Connectiva Linux. These can be found here

I have also built a QNX install which is here

FreeBSD Ports's

Nick Sayer has created a FreeBSD port of unixODBC. Have a look at the FreeBSD Ports site and search for unixODBC

Solaris PKG of 2.2.14

I have created Solaris packages of 2.2.14 for SparcSparc 64 biti386andi386 64 bit!!! WARNING (Will Robinson) - these packages expect to install in /usr/local/bin etc, and will remove any non pkgmgr contents of those directories. It will warn you, but if you say yes, they will be gone.

Finally

Everyone should take a look at the README and INSTALL files. If you still have problems then it is likely our fault so just send anemail and I will see what I can do.
