On my system, there are two large code bases that compile with ODBC dependency, Erlang OTP and Qt. I resolved the conflict between the different ODBC library dependency by specifying # make DRIVER_MANAGER=unixodbc build So as things currently stand, i'm standardized on 'unixODBC' library. However, their outrageous macro hackery that mixes typedef with conditional #ifdef and 64-bit in their penchant to support Windows, UNIX, Linux and everything in between is bound to fail in some cases. Hence the very useful comment in sqltypes.h /* * may fail in some cases, but what else can we do ? */ Failed compilation is collateral damage :( My current solution is: [Thanks to the C/asm guru Namita] Since i'm on a 32-bit system (and not a 64-bit system) put this line before the #if stuff in code #undef ODBCINT64 This gave a clean compile, however i'm yet to write code to test it out ! thanks Saifi.
