help needed for compiling unixODBC on HPUX 11.11 (PA-RISC)

[Madhu Kangara]

Has anyone successfully compiled unixODBC (www.unixODBC.org) for Hp-UX PA-RISC

I used following options to configure with gcc 3.3


./configure --prefix=/home/madhu/unixODBC --enable-gui=no --enable-
drivers=no


I am getting following error while doing make. Has anyone tried

Hi

What is the reason for using unixODBC? is there no alternative?

for example if you are using oracle you could use oracle transparent gateway to connect to a mssql db.

Shalom,

It would indeed be helpful to know why you are trying to do this.

It would appear to be a missing m4 binary causing this problem.

Try `/usr/local/bin/m4 --help' for more information.

Do not ignore the pre/co requisite depots.

We are trying to use hetrogenous services for Oracle to connect to a non standard RDBMS using ODBC and I was following Jeff Hunter's document

http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Oracle/DBA_tips/Heterogeneous_Services/HETERO_2.shtml

I was aware that I could use transparent services for Oracle to connect to a non standard database. Can someone please attach a how-to

[Madhu Kangara]

I have m4
$[\u@\h \W]\$ /usr/local/bin/m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4

Hi

This is the installation guide for transparent gateway 10g. but as far as I know this is not for free...

I had have a similar issue, this was the thread:
http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1127245

but now I connect from mssql to oracle and this works.

to which rdbms are you trying to connect?
