Debian build the freeradius package with unixodbc support

[Dominick Rivard]

Hi,

I finally got  everything compiling and work just fine.
You can see the answer I provided to my own question on serverfault.

Thank you for the unixodbc-dev dependencies I was missing. 
 I also want to let you know that it has been replaced by libiodbc2-dev but
then you have to 
create a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/libodbc.so.1 /usr/lib/libodbc.so because it
isn't created when installing the package.

Now I have a freeradius and MSSQL backend working and being tested for a
future production move.

Best.
Dominick

That's not the only way.

unixodbc and iodbc are (mostly) driver-compatible.

Short version? Just run "apt-get install freeradius-iodbc", and configure
iodbc for mysql.

Long version: there are ways you can change the debian recipe to get it to
build odbc module (i.e. one of the requirements is that you need to install
unixodbc-dev first), but it's MUCH easier to just use whatever the distro
provide and support. Debian and Ubuntu has 2.1.12 with backported security
patches, and 2.2.0 is available from my ppa:
