The problem is that on Linux, the myodbc configure files doesn't build
shared libraries by default:
make
....
checking for
/usr/cygnus/codefusion-990706/H-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.0/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.0/2.9-codefusion-990706/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnulibc2.0/bin/ld
option to reload object files... -r
checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no <--- PROBLEM
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking for objdir... .libs
creating libtool
(My original 'ls' was from my Solaris 2.7 sparc system)
Fix:
Modify config.guess (line 638)
From:
case "$ld_supported_emulations" in
elf_i?86) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnuaout" ; exit 0 ;;
i?86linux) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnuaout" ; exit 0 ;;
i?86coff) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnucoff" ; exit 0 ;;
to
case "$ld_supported_emulations" in
elf_i?86) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnu" ; exit 0 ;;
i?86linux) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnuaout" ; exit 0 ;;
i?86coff) echo "${UNAME_MACHINE}-pc-linux-gnucoff" ; exit 0 ;;
After I did run configure, make , make install I got:
(/my/local/src/myodbc-2.50.26) ls -lt /usr/local/lib/
total 4494
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 609 Sep 19 21:37 libmyodbc.la
