定制安装pyodbc

Question

I've encountered a tricky problem here. The situation is:

I want to compile pyodbc by using

    python setup.py install

under Linux 12. However, I get the following error

    fatal error: sql.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I guess it looks for unixODBC so I try to install it. But the problem is, I do not have privilege to the root directory, so I have installed it in my home directory.

My question then, is how can I redirect the pyodbc to look for my customized unixODBC path?

Thank you in advance.

Download the source from https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc and run

python setup.py build_ext install -L/your/libpython/path/

or create a setup.cfg file containing

[build_ext]
library_dirs="/your/libpython/path/"

then run

python setup build_ext install
