Description Nicola Soranzo 2006-01-04 17:14:40 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
The wxWidgets/GTK toolkit has a class for database abstraction via ODBC, but this class is not included in the package. It'd be nice to have it, maybe in a separate subpackage.

To compile the class --with-odbc should be added to configure.
Also it requires unixODBC (or iODBC, but iODBC is neither in Core nor in Extras).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile a wxGTK program that need the ODBC classes.


Actual Results:  The program is compiled, but linking fails.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2006-01-04 18:40:15 UTC

Sounds reasonable, especially since unixODBC is right there in core.

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2006-02-06 17:27:08 UTC

I'd like some opinions from people on whether this should be a subpackage or
integrated into the main RPM. I don't want to have a crazed profusion of
subpackages (especially when the prereqs are something that reasonably can be
expected to be on the system of someone who might want wxGTK). But does unixODBC
warrant an exception?

Comment 3 Nicola Soranzo 2006-03-15 13:17:14 UTC

Matthew, is wxGTK 2.6.3 going out with or without wxODBC?

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2006-03-15 13:31:29 UTC

I was thinking I'd add it at that point, probably as a subpackage.

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2006-03-21 19:46:23 UTC

Currently with rc2, I get this build failure:


./src/common/db.cpp: In member function 'bool wxDb::Open(const wxString&, void*,
 bool)':
./src/common/db.cpp:848: error: ambiguous overload for 'operator=' in '((wxDb*)t
his)->wxDb::outConnectionStr = outConnectBuffer'


(Haven't investigated at all; just got that error and figured I'd mention it
here in case someone wants to jump in with a known fix.)

Comment 6 Matthew Miller 2006-03-21 19:49:33 UTC

Hmmm, okay -- quick googling indicates that this is a problem with wxODBC and
Unicode, or at least was in 2004.

Comment 7 Matthew Miller 2006-03-21 20:01:03 UTC

Talking to myself.... here's the upstream bug:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109863&aid=1163141&group_id=9863

Comment 8 Matthew Miller 2006-04-13 21:11:33 UTC

Building in Fedora Extras devel. Since it's currently broken and has been for so
long, I'll build for FC5 as soon as I hear positive feedback or on Monday,
whichever comes first.

Comment 9 Matthew Miller 2006-04-19 02:56:27 UTC

Comment #8 is misplaced; sorry. Please ignore that; this is still waiting on the
upstream bug.

I'm going to mark this deferred for now. If someone comes up with a fix, please
give me a jab and I'll revisit. Thanks!

Comment 10 Matthew Miller 2007-04-15 16:58:52 UTC

Upstream bug not marked as fixed, but trying again with version 2.8.3 just to see.

Comment 11 Matthew Miller 2007-04-15 17:26:15 UTC

Still broken upstream.
