testing gnucobol-4.0-early-dev on Mingw

[thomas]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to configure GnuCOBOL-4.0 early-dev with UnixODBC but i am getting the below error, i know my ODBC works because i can connect and query the database.

i used the following command to configure configure --with-odbc --with-db

Is there anything i can do to make it work?

checking for odbc... no
checking sql.h usability... no
checking sql.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sql.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sql.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sql.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: sql.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: sql.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ----------------------------------- ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-gnucobol@gnu.org ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ----------------------------------- ##
checking for sql.h... no
configure: error: sql.h and sqlext.h are required for ODBC

You don't have unixODBC installed (or at least not the -dev part). For Plain MinGW I'd try to build it from source http://www.unixodbc.org/download.html
