[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#559440: ia32-libs: Missing libodbc.so symlink

[Francois Gouget]

Package: ia32-libs
Version: 20090808
Severity: normal


This prevents the creation of 32bit binaries that link with libodbc.
Here is how to reproduce the problem:

cat >odbc.c <<__EOF__
char SQLConnect();
int main()
{
    return SQLConnect();
}
__EOF__
gcc -m32 -o conftest odbc.c -lodbc

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../libodbc.so when searching for -lodbc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../libodbc.a when searching for -lodbc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libodbc.so when searching for -lodbc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libodbc.a when searching for -lodbc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lodbc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


A simple workaround is to do:
# cd /usr/lib32 && ln -s libodbc.so.1 libodbc.so
