[Qgis-developer] Compiling QGIS with iODBC driver/library for MacOS X and Linux

[Nathan Woodrow]

I run Linux Mint 10 and I can connect to my MS SQL database without
any extra work.  Just using the Qt ODBC drivers.  You have to use a
ODBC DSN but other then that it works as expected.  I might do a blog
post about it if I can get some time.
