Win CE, iphonesim: never heard of it working there, but I'm not a FreeTDS guru. Worst case would be that that dblib fails to compile, blowing up the build again; another risk may be that there actually isn't a FreeTDS library port for that platform. Lacak2 and Ludo Brands quite probably have a better idea whether the first problem may occur; I'd say the other problem is not that big of a deal ;) > 2. move win64 to first group. > con: does pxlib run on win64?
