The unixODBC Project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC to be the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platforms. This is to include GUI support for both KDE and GNOME. ODBC is an open specification for providing application developers with a predictable API with which to access Data Sources. Data Sources include SQL Servers and any Data Source with an ODBC Driver. This will be compiled without GUI support. If you want to give it a try, edit the build script and comment out the "--disable-gui" configure argument. Also, there is a seperate GUI frontend available separately from: http://www.unixodbc.org/gui/ NOTE: This package conflicts with libiodbc in Slackware. Make sure to reinstall libiodbc if you remove this package.
