You should report this to the debian maintainer.

Just curious though why not define it as strdup ... that's my workaround.

Hi,

anything in /usr/local is not a Debian problem. That's something you compiled yourself and installed there.

The Debian package build has the same problem, though:

ODBCSYSINI=. ODBCINSTINI=./odbcinst.ini ODBCINI=./odbc.ini ./reset-db < ./sampletables.sql
./reset-db: symbol lookup error: ../.libs/psqlodbcw.so: undefined symbol: _strdup
make[2]: *** [Makefile:32: installcheck] Error 127

I just did some research and it seems _strdup is targeted at MS windows? .. seems like the enclosing #ifdefs should make sure _strdup does not get defined for non MS systems.
Thank you all for looking into it.

[davecramer]

enclosing #ifdefs ? We can add that to the official code if you can provide the code.

Prior to #6, psqlODBC only used _strdup on Windows builds. _strdup is actually part of ISO C and C++, but as it does not compile on all systems, I've created #17 to resolve this issue.

@davecramer do you plan a new release with the fix?

[davecramer]

I'd like to make sure some other things are fixed first, but sure.
