#2 Win98 executable unusable

[Anonymous]

When launched, either from the command line or by
double-clicking in the Explorer, the ODBCSS executable
for Win98 returns immediatelu, witout any message. Any
attempt to connect to port 9628 (socktest.exe, telnet,
unix odbcClient.tcl) aborts, the common symptom being
that no connection is possible.

I do not have Visual C++ ; therefore, I can't rebuild
the server. Does somebody has any idea about how this
could be recompiled with gcc/mingw ?

Correction to my bug report : The Win98 executable does
indeed work, *provided* that it is launched from a command
line with start or start /wait (which allows for killing the
server with Ctrl-C). Don't ask me why ...

BTW, socktest.exe does not work. One can telnet to the
server, but the python clent does not work, while the tcl
clent does *exactly* *once* (the first query returns a
result, the following queries do not). That's probably
clients problem.

BTW : I'm charpent at bacbuc dot dyndns dot org, and I
forgot to specify this.

Hello,

I was like you, and one day I found where to compile it. And
I generated this executable, it worked for me.
I remember that it didn't work if I copied it into the place
of the NT executable, but it did work if i copied and
launched into another directory.
Hope this helps ...
