This is an unmodified build of FreeTDS 1.1.20, with certain features enabled with compile flags. Mainly OpenSSL (which is not included in Debian/Ubuntu's apt repos, due to licensing issues mentioned below.)
This build sets a default TDS protocol version to 7.3 (SQL Server 2008). This can be overridden via freetds.conf or by TinyTDS/any other client, so is merely a best fallback default.
See http://www.freetds.org/userguide/choosingtdsprotocol.htm for more information on TDS protocol versions.
--with-opensslThis is compiled with OpenSSL support. Requires OpenSSL > 1.0.1.--with-tdsver=7.3(As mentioned above)--enable-msdblib(Enable Microsoft behavior in the DB-Library API where it diverges from Sybase's.)--enable-krb5(Enable Kerberos support. With Kerberos you can connect to server using your stored Kerberos ticket.)--disable-debug(Removes debug symbols for performance)
Originally this was built with the debmake tools. This version is building with 'checkinstall' From freeTDS source directory
sudo apt install checkinstall
./configure --with-openssl --enable-msdblib --enable-krb5 --enable-krb5 --with-tdsver=7.3 --sysconfdir /etc/
sudo checkinstallDuring the checkinstall process it will ask a few questions, enter 'no' to all of them.
