Unable to "gem install ruby-odbc" on rubyinstaller for ruby 2.4.2.

[TomyLobo]

Hi

I tried to install the ruby-odbc gem using the following steps:

1. I clicked on "Start Command Prompt with Ruby"
2. ridk install 1 2 3
3. ridk enable
4. pacman -Sy mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-nanodbc
• I also tried uninstalling that and installing mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-freetds instead
5. gem install ruby-odbc

The result is this:

It's looking for some SQL functions, a little googling tells me they're from the ODBC API.

Since I already installed nanodbc/freetds, I have no idea what's missing.

Hi all,

attached please find a patch for ruby-odbc-0.99998. It fixes compatibility with Ruby-2.4 on MINGW, namely RubyInstaller-2.4. See the patch message for further description of the issue.

The ODBC base libraries are part of MINGW so that no additional pacman packages are required to install ruby-odbc. However they provide ODBC drivers for MSSQL (mingw-w64-freetds) etc., which could be required to connect to a particular database. I didn't test any of these.
