Yoshi,
Regardless if you use a commercial or free driver, the only thing you need
to compile with is iODBC, as a Driver Manager. You can then drop in any
ODBC-compliant driver fairly seamlessly. A Howto is available at
www.iodbc.org, but it's mostly a matter of getting the iODBC SDK and
compiling --with-iodbc.
Also, while our drivers are not Open Source, they are free for low-use
environments (2 concurrent database connections).
Please let me know if I may assist in any way.
Best regards,
Andrew
