Re: Driver manager detection in 08.02.0400 is broken

The detection of the driver manager in 08.02.0400 (unixODBC vs iODBC) doesn't
work at all. No matter what you say as option, it always picks unixODBC.
Apparently, somebody didn't understand what the AC_ARG_WITH macros do.
That's why we had used PGAC_ARG_* before. What was the point of that change
anyway? Somebody has been creating a big mess in configure.ac without much
explanation.

Eh? , I use iODBC on FreeBSD. I have the positive proof of the test that uses it.
How does it make trouble?

P.S)
I had propriety and confirmed it to you first. However, I think your opinion and
correction to be a surprise attack. .....

I said --without-unixodbc and it still turned it on.

Ahhh, I understood.

I use this.
configure --enable-unicode --with-iodbc --with-odbcver=0x0300 --enable-pthreads

It is necessary to adjust it. or write the document.

Thanks!

It seems it does end up working; just the selection logic is faulty in some
cases. I'm working on a fix.

I've cleaned up the configure.ac file so that the --without- and --disable-
options actually mean "turn off". I'm not really familiar with the changed
driver manager detection logic yet, but at least it should have less
surprises now.

Umm, Problem of my autoconf?

Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'.
configure.ac:64: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ./config

inet% autoconf -V
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

Try running

autoreconf -i

The order in which you run the autotools and the options you pass can be
pretty complicated, and I could reproduce your problem by running them
manually, but the above should work and run all the necessary tools.
