Ok, so I've spent the last little while playing with the install_name_tool and I've managed to get the dynamic libraries to load at least.

The problem I have now is that the process fails and I have no idea why.

from this code:

if( !sqlany_initialize_interface( &api, NULL ) ) {
    printf( "Could not initialize the interface!\n" );
    exit( 0 );
}

if( !api.sqlany_init( "Test1", SQLANY_API_VERSION_2, &max_api_ver )) {
    printf( "Failed to initialize the interface! Supported version = %d\n", max_api_ver );
    sqlany_finalize_interface( &api );
    return -1;
}

I get returned:

Failed to initialize the interface! Supported version = 2

So I guess the library isn't in a good state. How do I find out what the problem is?

Cheers, Dan

Dan,

Make sure when you run your application that your SQL Anywhere environment is setup correctly and that the SQL Anywhere binaries are in your PATH and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Have you sourced the configuration script sa_config.[c]sh?

To test that your environment is setup correctly, try to run dbping and see if you can successfully ping to a running server. Then from the same shell try to execute your application.

Thanks Mohammad,

I have setup the paths and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH the same way as are in the sa_config.sh script. If I start a terminal session and run any of the tools they work fine (dbinit is the one I used to check)

So from that I think that maybe Xcode is not providing the right environment variables for the debugging session. I'll have a look through their documentation and see what I can find.

Cheers, Dan
