Description Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-11 08:06:38 UTC
dev-db/rekall has "odbc" as one of the optional USE flags.  However, ODBC support is not included in the free software version of the download.  Instead, its a plugin that has to be bought from The Kompany.

From the corporate website:

"Please note the ODBC and DB2 drivers are not included in the standard edition of Rekall; they have to be purchased separately. Also you will need a fully licensed copy of the Database Server for the selected driver."

The project website < http://www.rekallrevealed.org/ > doesn't make any mention of ODBC either.

Furthermore, running configure doesn't display any "odbc" enable or disable options.  And the ebuild doesn't specify any specific instructions on what to do if the flag is enabled or not:

IUSE="mysql odbc postgres xbase"

DEPEND="sys-apps/sed
        virtual/python
        mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.57-r1 )
        postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4-r1 )
        xbase? ( =dev-db/xbsql-0.11 )"
RDEPEND="virtual/python
        mysql? ( >=dev-db/mysql-3.23.57-r1 )
        postgres? ( >=dev-db/postgresql-7.3.4-r1 )
        xbase? ( =dev-db/xbsql-0.11 )"

Thanks,

Steve

I forgot to mention, the ebuild I looked at was 2.2.3-r1.  Also the website I quoted from was http://www.thekompany.com/products/rekall/
