This is possible since unixodbc version 2.2.10 as they fixed the including of local files from public headers.

Basic Installation - from a packaged tarball (.tgz)
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
See below if you are installing from git.
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
or for a complete install (requires bison, flex, and unixODBC):
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --enable-sql --with-unixodbc=/usr/local
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
This will build some useful utilities:
|
|
|
|
mdb-ver -- prints the version (JET 3 or 4) of an mdb file
|
|
mdb-dump -- simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
|
|
mdb-schema -- prints DDL for the specified table
|
|
mdb-export -- export table to CSV format
|
|
mdb-tables -- a simple dump of table names to be used with shell scripts
|
|
mdb-header -- generates a C header to be used in exporting mdb data to a C prog.
|
|
mdb-parsecvs -- generates a C program given a CSV file made with mdb-export
|
|
mdb-sql -- if --enable-sql is specified, a simple SQL engine (also used by
|
|
ODBC and gmdb).
|
|
gmdb2 -- a graphical utility to browse MDB files.
|
|
|
|
And some utilities useful for debugging:
|
|
|
|
prcat -- prints the catalog table from an mdb file.
|
|
prkkd -- dump of information about design view data given the offset to it.
|
|
prtable -- dump of a table definition.
|
|
prdata -- dump of the data given a table name.
|
|
prole -- dump of ole columns given a table name and sargs.
|
|
|
|
Once MDB Tools has been compiled, libmdb.[so|a] will be in the src/libmdb
|
|
directory and the utility programs will be in the src/util directory.
|
|
|
|
You can then run 'make install' as root to install (to /usr/local by default).
|
|
Some systems will also need the ld cache to be updated after installation;
|
|
You can do that running 'ldconfig' as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation Options
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
configure can be passed any of the following flags to turn on other
|
|
capabilities. Note that the options --with-unixodbc and --with-iodbc are
|
|
mutually exclusive.
|
|
|
|
--enable-sql will cause the SQL engine to be built, you must have flex
|
|
and bison (or yacc) installed for this option.
|
|
--with-unixodbc specifies the location of the unixODBC driver manager and
|
|
causes the unixODBC driver to be built. You need version
|
|
2.2.10 or above.
|
|
--with-iodbc specifies the location of the iODBC driver manager and
|
|
causes the iODBC driver to be built.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the html version of the docbook documentation, you need to
|
|
set the environment variable DOCBOOK_DSL to the modular dsl translation file.
|
|
For exemple, before configure, you need something like:
|
|
|
|
$ export DOCBOOK_DSL=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/docbook.dsl
|
|
|
|
Installation from sources
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
First, you must have reasonably current installations of:
|
|
libtool
|
|
automake
|
|
autoconf
|
|
If you don't you should install them first. Sources are available at
|
|
ftp.gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
You will also need txt2man in order to build the man pages. Source is available
|
|
at http://mvertes.free.fr/download/.
|
|
|
|
Second, download the sources from github:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/brianb/mdbtools.git
|
|
|
|
Third, run autogen.sh to configure everything:
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
-- This will run libtoolize, automake, and autoconf.
|
|
|
|
Note: FreeBSD systems, as of the time of this writing, have an old version of
|
|
libtool (1.3.4) in the ports collection. It works, but requires the presence
|
|
of acinclude.m4 in the distribution, which is why it is included. If your
|
|
system has a more up-to-date version (1.4.2, at this date), this file is not
|
|
needed and, in fact, causes an error when autoconf is run:
|
|
./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
|
|
configure: error: libtool configure failed
|
|
If you get this error message, delete the file "acinclude.m4" and run
|
|
autogen.sh again.
|
|
|
|
At this point, you should resume the instructions at the beginning of this
|
|
file.
