I develop on OS X, deploy on Ubuntu.  Great combo.  But now I need a FDW to a SQL Server database.\r\n\r\nThis repo appears to be my only option.  I need to build to get something deployable.  The build fails on OSX with the `sybfront.h` error, similar to Issue #63.  Darn!\r\n\r\nI build a lot of suff on OS X but, given that OS X wasn't rightly documented until recently – see commit 5663f14 – I ask myself, *\"Do I really want to go there?\"*.  Given the nature of the system I'm building and maintaining, my instinct says *\"No\"*.  There's no way I can justify the dependency risk.\r\n\r\nWhich is a shame.   \r\n\r\nI reckon four-fold more developers would use this repo if distros were pre-built and made available.\r\n\r\nIf it were simple to use the fruits of this repo, I would use it.   I need a turn-key FDW for OS X and Ubuntu, because I have a development queue that's 500-items long and I can't justify the debug-first-then-use workflow that tds_fdw is imposing because straightforward pre-built distros are not available.\r\n\r\nSo I hope you'll consider making consumer-ready distros of tds_fdw."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/issues/comments/290754716","html_url":"https://github.com/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/issues/127#issuecomment-290754716","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tds-fdw/tds_fdw/issues/127","id":290754716,"user":{"login":"juliogonzalez","id":4226070,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/4226070?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez","html_url":"https://github.com/juliogonzalez","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/juliogonzalez/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-03-31T16:03:51Z","updated_at":"2017-03-31T16:03:51Z","body":"First of all, I am not the owner of tds_fwd, but I help Geoff with the continuous building, tests, and I also keep an [unofficial repository to create RPMS](https://github.com/juliogonzalez/tds_fdw-rpm).\r\n\r\nSo I can certainly help with builds and packaging... as long as I have a system to compile and to test.\r\n\r\nAnd the problem is that I don't have access to Apple boxes where I can run OSX to build tds_fdw and to create the DMG package. And even if I could do it using GNU/Linux, I won't be able to test it :-(\r\n\r\nHowever I am not sure I can understand your situation... You mean that your development servers are MacOSX server, while your production servers are Ubuntu? Or do you mean that you use a MacOS box to develop, while production is using Ubuntu?\r\n\r\nIf it is last case, can you consider a virtual machine or using docker at your local MacOS system? You can even use our [docker images](https://hub.docker.com/u/tdsfdw/dashboard/), since are the same we use to compile.\r\n\r\nBut if it is the first case, I can't understand why but I am sure you have a strong reason to do it.\r\n\r\nFor this case, and to provide real MacOSX support, I think that @GeoffMontee would need to be involved since he's the developer and owner and need to see decide what the would be.\r\n\r\nAnd if he wants then we can talk to see what we can do from a technical and economical perspective, (since we would need a virtual or physical MacOS box)."}}
