FreeTDS with OpenSSL support

FreeTDS compiled by Navigating Cancer SRE

This is an unmodified build of FreeTDS 1.1.20, with certain features enabled with compile flags. Mainly OpenSSL (which is not included in Debian/Ubuntu's apt repos, due to licensing issues mentioned below.)

This build sets a default TDS protocol version to 7.3 (SQL Server 2008). This can be overridden via freetds.conf or by TinyTDS/any other client, so is merely a best fallback default.

See http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm for more information on TDS protocol versions.

Compile Flags in this Package

• --with-openssl This is compiled with OpenSSL support. Requires OpenSSL > 1.0.1.
• --with-tdsver=7.3 (As mentioned above)
• --enable-msdblib (Enable Microsoft behavior in the DB-Library API where it diverges from Sybase's.)
• --enable-krb5 (Enable Kerberos support. With Kerberos you can connect to server using your stored Kerberos ticket.)
• --disable-debug (Removes debug symbols for performance)

Originally this was built with the debmake tools. This version is building with 'checkinstall' From freeTDS source directory

sudo apt install checkinstall
 ./configure --with-openssl --enable-msdblib --enable-krb5 --enable-krb5 --with-tdsver=7.3 --sysconfdir /etc/
 sudo checkinstall

Install Notes

During the checkinstall process it will ask a few questions, enter 'no' to all of them.
