Description Rafał Mużyło 2009-09-18 14:10:41 UTC

wxGTK can use either unixODBC or libiodbc. Current ebuild
accepts only unixODBC. A not very complicated patch allows
the use of libiodbc - it doesn't work out-of-the-box,
cause it searches for the headers in an incorrect place.
Writing a better patch, that lets choose between those two flavors
shouldn't be hard. After applying patch, calling eautoconf is
necessary.

On a not really related note: wxGTK has an automagical dep on esound.

patch that prefers libiodbc

Noteworthy may be the fact, that had the upstream check work,
it would prefer iodbc too - it would use this lib in builtin case.

Any chance this could get in upstream first?

Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2010-02-15 00:18:26 UTC

Frankly - not really.
This is a hack valid for Gentoo unixODBC/libiodbc layout.

Just as the comment seen in this patch states, the proper way
would be using {,i}odbc-config, but this patch works on Gentoo
just fine.

wxGTK:2.8 has been last rited in bug 661284 and and wxGTK:3.0 doesn't have ODBC, thus closing this bug here as obsolete
