Tar xvfz unixODBC-2.3.1.tar.gz cd unixODBC-2.3.1 I built and installed everything in the standard location, /usr/local, feel free to change the path to suite your needs.

Build and install unixODBC first and then FreeTDS. Configure and Build unixODBC and FreeTDS from SourceįreeTDS will work with either iODBC or unixODBC, but I've not had luck with iODBC. I downloaded all packages with wget from the command line. A commenter on Vinh's post noted errors experienced before installing gawk, which I had already installed via MacPorts. You'll need Apple's developer tools, so be sure you have XCode installed. For future reference, here are the steps from the latest installation and configuration of unixODBC and FreeTDS on OS X Lion.

With a refreshed memory and some trial and error, I was able to get everything up and running again. I found Vinh Nguyen's blog post which refreshed my memory on the installation steps.
I tried installing unixODBC and FreeTDS using MacPorts on the new machine, but was unable to connect to Sybase servers. This old Tiger was replaced by a new machine running Lion recently. I had previously installed unixODBC and FreeTDS on an OS X 10.4 desktop. It's helpful to be able to connect directly to these servers from my Mac desktop in addition to using Apple RDC to manage and work against them directly via MS SQL Server Management Studio and Sybase Central. Although I haven't had need to do so for freelance jobs, I do administer several Windows-based Sybase and MS SQL Servers at my day job.
