Searching for a way to contact a Sybase-server from FreeBSD, I found
|
||
|
this tarball with binary static libraries, header files, and some
|
||
|
samples (which this port does not install). Apparently, Sybase thinks
|
||
|
FreeBSD is a version of Linux -- see MASTER_SITES... Sigh.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The tarball available was rolled in 2000, on FreeBSD-3.3 (?) according
|
||
|
to some of the files inside it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may have to use the Linux utilities with it, since the tarball
|
||
|
does not even have all things needed to build some of the samples,
|
||
|
such as Sybase's precompiler ``cpre''. But you can then compile and
|
||
|
link native FreeBSD executables.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't let the presense of sybase-ase-11.0.3.3-FreeBSD-6.i386.tgz on
|
||
|
the MASTER_SITE fool you -- all of the binaries inside are for Linux,
|
||
|
although they will run under Linux emulation.
