Subject: Using Filemaker 7/8 as a GRASS database
Platform: Mac OSX
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 6.1CVS
a simple, one or two step module that will allow us to use Filemaker Databases
would be really nice. Something that will link to iODBC or perhaps directly
to the .fp7 or .fp8 file. A lot of MAC users use filemaker for their database
needs, as it is powerful and easy to use.
The major problem has been the GRASS uses unixODBC while Filemaker uses iODBC.
Translating a file maker file into something readable has been difficult. |

Subject: Add iODBC as alternative to UnixODBC
Platform: Mac OSX
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: 6.1beta1
iODBC is included in the Mac OS X system and there are many ready-made iodbc
drivers (including MS
Access) for Mac OS X. I've successfully built, and tested a little, iODBC support
in GRASS by simply
substituting -liodbc for -lodbc in configure. |

Hi,
it should not be so hard to implement that but
odbc and iodbc might be mutually exclusive.
grep odbc configure.in
LOC_ARG_WITH(odbc, ODBC, no)
LOC_ARG_WITH_INC(odbc, ODBC)
LOC_ARG_WITH_LIB(odbc, ODBC)
LOC_CHECK_USE(odbc,ODBC,USE_ODBC)
LOC_CHECK_INC_PATH(odbc,ODBC,ODBCINC)
LOC_CHECK_LIB_PATH(odbc,ODBC,ODBCLIB)
LOC_CHECK_LIBS(odbc,SQLConnect,ODBC,$ODBCLIB,ODBCLIB,$ICONVLIB,,)
No idea to make that optional for odbc and iodbc.

Maybe Glynn can help with the configure.in change request?
thanks
