Is it possible to build the idb-connector on Windows/Linux?

[Kerim Gueney]

When I do

npm install idb-connector

on my Windows machine, node-gyp fails to build it.

Hi, @KerimG. Since the connector is built specifically for the CLI API's on IBM i, it cannot build on another platform.

For Windows/Linux, I recommend the node 'odbc' package, which you can use with the IBM-provided ODBC driver (part of the IBM i Access Client Solutions Windows Application Package).

Another option is the ibm_db project, which requires Db2Connect licensing.

Hi @ThePrez ,

Thank you for the quick response.

While I have you here, I sent you an email about an hour or so ago. Do you mind checking it out? It's just two or three simple questions.

Any idea on what's causing issue #19?

Thanks a bunch for your help!

@ThePrez

Does the ODBC driver not require Db2Connect licensing?

[Kerim Gueney]

No, it is not possible.

Closing this :)
