You should also be aware that on non-Windows platforms ODBC drivers co

Using ODBC in /var/root/perforce_install/ODBC/libiodbc_install_dir

Umm, this looks like a unixodbc type of driver manager.
We expect to find the sql.h, sqlext.h and (which were
supplied with unixODBC) in $ODBCHOME/include directory alongside
the /var/root/perforce_install/ODBC/libiodbc_install_dir/lib/libodbc.a

Again, thanks for any help!
