The freetds Portfile 57375 2009-09-10 08:16:41Z ryandesign macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: freetds
Version: 0.82
Category: databases
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: nomaintainer

Description: A set of libraries for Unix and Linux that allows your programs to natively talk to Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase databases

Long Description: FreeTDS is an open source implementation of the TDS (Tabular DataStream) protocol used by these databases for their own clients. It supports many different flavors of the protocol and supports several APIs to access it. Additionally FreeTDS works with other software such as Perl and PHP, providing access from those languages as well. There is also a native (type 4) JDBC driver available for platform-independent Java clients (including Java Server Pages applications), with support for most of the JDBC 1 API and portions of the JDBC 2 API.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/freetds
%  sudo port install freetds  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching freetds
--->  Verifying checksum for freetds
--->  Extracting freetds
--->  Configuring freetds
--->  Building freetds with target all

--->  Staging freetds into destroot

--->  Installing freetds

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using freetds with these commands:

%  man freetds
%  apropos freetds
%  which freetds
%  locate freetds
