Zuyuan,

Are you sure you've updated cpl_odbc.cpp but not cpl_odbc.h ?

In the link with solution you pasted above directs to cpl_odbc.h:

http://www.gdal.org/srctree/port/cpl_odbc.h

but

it should point to

http://www.gdal.org/srctree/port/cpl_odbc.cpp

So, please check it and try to compile again.

Cheers
