[Simpledb-general] Building on OS X

[Amy T. <Amy...@ad...>]

Hello All,

We've recently started using this library on OS X for all of our ODBC needs, but initially we ran into a small build issue in the Makefile that I had to work around. On OS X, -soname is not a valid argument, below. Instead, -install_name (or -dylib_install_name) should be used.

Here's the patch:

--- old/Makefile	2012-02-26 05:40:58.000000000 -0600
+++ new/Makefile	2012-09-05 16:40:13.000000000 -0500
