Can't built on OSX

[sdrib]

I am on OSX 10.8.2. I get this error when I try Method 1, as described in the Mac Readme file:
/bin/sh: build: command not found

When I try Method 2: , I get:
sh: bootstrap.sh: No such file or directory

What am I missing? I have the latest Developer Packages.

[openlink]

I fixed some problems when trying to compile iODBC using the latest XCode package on Mac OS X 10.8.

Please checkout the latest develop branch of iODBC.

note that you need to have autoconf/automake/libtool which are not shipped anymore with recent versions of Xcode. I suggest you install them using homebrew, fink or macports.

[sdrib]

Brilliant! thank you for the answer. Installing Homebrew now and trying again. I will get back to this thread with results.

I can run on OSX 10.6 with the dmg build on the web site, pyodbc (sudo pip install http://river.styx.org/ww/2010/10/pyodbc-spasql/pyodbc-virtuoso-2.1.9-beta14.tar.gz), and the Virtuoso 0.12.6 plug-in (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtuoso) for Python.

When I run on 10.8, a simple pyodbc connect crashes in libiodbc.2.dylib SQLFreeStmt + 76. I removed iODBC from my previous dmg install, and I built iODBC according to the suggestion above. iodbctest still works, but the pyodbc connect crashes here, seemingly in the same spot:
Thread 0 Crashed:: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 org.iodbc.core 0x00000001020f0f7c SQLFreeStmt + 76
1 pyodbc.so 0x0000000101de9806 GetConnectionInfo(object, Connection_) + 668

I have tried a newer version of pyodbc than the Virtuoso plug-in requires as well, but the same crash occurs.
PS: I would like to use the Virtuoso plug-in with a newer version of pyodbc anyway, if possible.

Addendum: Today I rebuilt pyodbc 3.07 and pointed to the proper iODBC include and lib. The notes in the setup.py says Apple is no longer maintaining iODBC in 10.8. Anyway, I traced a working and nonworking connect session and found that the SQLDriverConnectW entry does and does not print out the connect string, respectively. The python test code is the very same, and in OSX 10.8 pyodbc is not getting the connect string to iODBC. With iodbctest, it is normal. My next difficult step is to turn on debug in C++ and python. It doesn't make sense that what is working in 10.6 in a basic library is broken after upgrading to 10.8.

Solutions? Suggestions?

Would you please update iODBC so that it will also install on OS X 10.9.1 without the same error as above, or comment on installation on Mavericks? Thank you. I got the errors below after brew installing the three packages mentioned.

I wish I had a solution for you, but I gave up trying to build iODBC with OS X 10.8, and started using rdflib (with Python) with SPARQL endpoints from then on and now.

3 months ago, one from the hosting company said it was alive and well in response to someone complaining about iODBC and R not working together. Perhaps iODBC is not well supported?

Thanks.

Two years later, and the Mac directory doesn't build when following the directions https://github.com/openlink/iODBC/blob/develop/README.MACOSX.

Method 2, does seem to work, but does not build/install any of the applications.

[openlink]

Thanks for reporting. I fixed the problem on the latest develop branch. Please try Method 1 again.

[pwagland]

Thanks for the quick response! Sadly, that doesn't work for me:

Fixed issue with Xcode on Mac OS X 10.10 Xcode 7.2.1

The Xcode tools are installed. I have Xcode 7.2.1, and the tools are installed.

Ah, there was a config option for 10.11 missing from the mac/Makefile. Please pull the latest fix which should resolve your build problem.

[pwagland]

This now works, so I can build it! This issue can be closed :-)

For macOS sierra (10.12), a similar addition to mac/GNUMakefile appears to make it work (tested using the psqlODBC driver; PostgreSQL lets me interact with it remotely, via the iODBC demo app).

When running make, I have deliberately ignored the effect of FixupResourceForks seemingly gone in this edition of the OS.

make: /System/Library/CoreServices/FixupResourceForks: No such file or directory

Thank you for the patch. Worked perfectly for macOS 10.12.6 with Xcode 9 beta 6 installed.
