Any Success Compiling Ruby-odbc For Mac

SEATTLE—With the Xamarin tooling built in to Visual Studio, iOS and Android developers can already use a PC for a big part of their dev process by using the Visual Studio IDE for writing their code. For iOS development, however, there has always been an extra complication: the actual software building and deployment had to take place on a Mac. Visual Studio remotely controls the Apple machine to do this work, so although developers can stay inside the Visual Studio environment they know and love, they still need a Mac on their local network.

In order to have the latest updates on apps, and also be able to have the newest app features, it is essential that you have access to the latest version of the macOS. Apple has of recent times announced the latest versions of some of their operating systems. After going through the beta phase successfully,. Travis CI integration for FPC / Lazarus. Travis CI currently has no official support for FreePascal. This repository demonstrates how FPC and Lazarus projects can be used in combination with Travis. There is support for building with multiple Lazarus releases on both Travis' Linux and Mac OSX platforms. Support for Windows (both win32 and win64) is done using Wine.

Xamarin Live Player, announced today, takes the Mac out of the develop/deploy/debug cycle. With Live Player, iOS apps can be deployed directly onto an iPhone or other iDevice from a PC running Visual Studio, where the code can then be tested and debugged. This means that the Mac is no longer needed for that core development cycle.

The final build and submission to the App Store will still require a Mac, so you can't go without an Apple system entirely, but what this means is that if you want to develop, as many of us do, on a laptop and aren't on the same network as your Mac, you can.

Live Player also supports Android, though this is obviously less of a big deal since direct development and deployment from a PC is already standard for Android.

Microsoft believes its Live Player system is entirely compatible with Apple's rules and regulations for App Store apps. Behind the scenes, the Live Player includes an interpreter for .NET code. This means that running an app through Live Player is slower than it would be if natively built on a Mac, but that's not such a big deal for many aspects of user interface development.

For those of us who are Mac users anyway, yesterday saw the release of Visual Studio for Mac. Visual Studio for Mac is a different codebase from Visual Studio on Windows, but the two products share things like the compiler and build infrastructure, enabling projects to be shared and co-developed between Mac and PC with no conversion or other hurdles to contend with.

Microsoft is also working to better align the various versions of .NET and the XAML user interface development language across its platforms. Later this year, the UWP version of .NET will be updated to support .NET Standard 2.0. Microsoft is also unifying the XAML used for cross-platform Xamarin Forms with that used for UWP. The new XAML, XAML Standard, will allow XAML to be shared (and copy/pasted, the best kind of code reuse) between UWP and Xamarin Forms apps.

Finally, Microsoft is continuing to embrace Linux developers and toolchains on Windows. The current Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) comes out of the box with support for Ubuntu; later this year, Microsoft is adding official support for a SUSE userland and a Fedora userland. It'll even be possible to install all three side by side, giving your Windows machine three different Linux personalities simultaneously. The installation of WSL is also simpler, with the three Linux environments all being installed from the Windows Store.

How do I set up an ODBC Data Source Name for Stata on Mac or Linux/Unix?

Configuring ODBC Data Source Names (DSNs) for the Mac OS X and Linux/Unix platforms can be daunting for beginners, so this FAQ provides an overview of the steps you need to take. Most steps are common to both platforms, but some are specific to the database to which you are connecting. Before you start configuring the driver manager, make sure you know which database you are using.

Obtaining iODBC

On both Mac and Linux, make sure that your system is running the iODBC driver manager, which stores and manages all the information you need to connect to an ODBC data source. iODBC is an Open Source driver manager maintained by OpenLink Software and released under a dual LGPL/BSD license.

• Linux
  The good news is that most versions of Linux ship with iODBC installed either by default or as an option. If you need to install iODBC, see the documentation for your version of Linux, or, if you are comfortable compiling source code, see http://www.iodbc.org for the latest version as well as some generic RPMs.
• Mac OS X
  Mac OS X versions 10.2 and later ship with an iODBC utility, ODBC Administrator, which you can find under Applications:Utilities.

Obtaining unixODBC

If you are using a Linux/Unix machine and Stata 10 or later, you can also connect to a database with the unixODBC driver manager. In Stata, type set odbcmgr unixodbc to use the unixODBC driver manager. To change back to the default iODBC driver manager, type set odbcmgr iodbc.

Creating and configuring an ODBC Data Source

At this point, you should have either iODBC or unixODBC installed and running on your system. To configure an ODBC DSN, you will need to specify several parameters, which may vary, depending on the database. Here are a few of the most common parameters (items in bold are usually required):

• DSN: a DSN of your choosing.
• Database name: the name of the existing database.
• Driver: the driver you will use to communicate with the database (make sure you use the right driver for your database).
• Server name: the domain name or IP address of the server that hosts the database.
• Username: the username you are using to connect to the database.
• Password: the password corresponding to the username.
• Port number: the port number you are using to connect to the database.

You can configure the ODBC data source either by using the iODBC Administrator utility or by modifying the ODBC configuration files manually.

1. iODBC Administrator Utility
   On both the Mac and Linux platforms, you can configure an ODBC data source using the iODBC Administrator (see http://www.iodbc.org for instructions on downloading and installing this utility). Using the iODBC Administrator, you can configure the following DSN information:
   
   • System DSN: An ODBC data source that you want to make available to anyone using the computer.
   • User DSN: A data source specific to a user.
   • Drivers: Links to the available database drivers. For example, if more than one DSN is connecting to a PostgreSQL database, you can define a Driver for all the DSNs to reference. If the driver location ever changes, you can modify the driver information, and all the DSNs will automatically refer to the new location.
2. Modifying ODBC configuration files
   The best way to configure ODBC is to modify the configuration files directly. These configuration files are well documented on the iODBC and unixODBC website. The most important configuration file is the .odbc.ini file (the period that precedes the filename makes this file invisible to most directory listings).
   The .odbc.ini file contains the connection parameters for system and user DSNs. The .odbc.ini file for System DSNs is usually stored in the system directory. For user DSNs, it is always stored in the user’s home directory, and there are normally as many .odbc.ini files as there are users.
   Here is an example of an actual .odbc.ini that will work on either Mac or Linux/Unix for a PostgreSQL database named 'Bug'. When placed in the user’s home directory, this file provides access to the ODBC database specified: The Driver, Servername, and Username parameters are common to all database types on both the Mac and Linux/Unix platforms. The names and required information for the other parameters may differ, depending on the type of database. See your database’s documentation for information about specific parameters.

Testing the ODBC DSN

Usually, iODBC ships with a small test application you can use to test the connection parameters of any DSN you define. Alternatively, you can start Stata and type odbc list to bring up a list of available DSNs. If you find any errors, you will need to change a connection parameter in the DSN before you try to connect again. I usually have to test a DSN two or three times before I get all the parameters right.
