[odbccpp] Add new port by florsap · Pull Request #50152 · microsoft/vcpkg

florsap · 2026-02-24T08:27:20Z

Changes comply with the maintainer guide.
The packaged project shows strong association with the chosen port name. Check this box if at least one of the following criteria is met:
- The project is amongst the first web search results for "" or " C++". Include a screenshot of the search engine results in the PR.

Optional dependencies of the build are all controlled by the port. A dependency is controlled if it is declared an unconditional dependency in vcpkg.json, or explicitly disabled through patches or build system arguments such as CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_Xxx or VCPKG_LOCK_FIND_PACKAGE
The versioning scheme in vcpkg.json matches what upstream says.
The license declaration in vcpkg.json matches what upstream says.
The source code of the component installed comes from an authoritative source.
The version database is fixed by rerunning ./vcpkg x-add-version --all and committing the result.

How is ODBC provided on other platforms which are not !windows?

Thanks for taking a look. In general I oriented on nanodbc and freetds, but I took the platform here from the supports config of unixodbc (https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/b2f068faf45a3f04145bec0f52a66526ad590227/ports/unixodbc/vcpkg.json). For other platforms it must be provided by the system. Let me know if I miss something, I have no issue to change it to !windows if it makes sense.

Following unixodbc's supports is right.

This must match the dependencies expressed in the manifests. I have more suggestions once the manifest dependency question is answered.

Good point, this is wrongfully adapted. Depending on the result of the other comment, this probably should be IF(LINUX OR APPLE).

This must match the dependencies expressed in the manifests. I have more suggestions once the manifest dependency question is answered.

~~@dg0yt, is there anything else you want to suggest? Otherwise, this port looks good to go to me~~

IF(UNIX) still seems wrong to me. This would become an installation order dependency when unixodbc is extended to support bsd or ios or android.

The safest wiring would be an option which is controlled by the portfile. Here (project mode):

if(ODBCCPP_USE_UNIXODBC) FIND_PACKAGE(unofficial-unixodbc CONFIG REQUIRED) SET(ODBC_TARGET unofficial::unixodbc::unixodbc) ELSE() ...

and in the portfile (vcpkg script mode):

vcpkg_list(SET options) if(VCPKG_TARGET_IS_LINUX OR VCPKG_TARGET_IS_OSX) list(APPEND options -DODBCCPP_USE_UNIXODBC=ON) endif() vcpkg_cmake_configure( ... OPTIONS ${options} ... )

I would probably create an alias ODBC::ODBC instead of replacing its use with a variable.

There is no installed CMake config. But unless using dynamic loading, there are conditional transitive usage requirements. User must duplicate the condition.

Thanks for the careful check. I added a config file to odbccpp, this is a good thing anyway. Also, I added your suggestions, I hope it fits now.

This reverts commit af41392.

Hey, Odbccpp is an open source wrapper for the odbc api to use in c++. Currently, it is mostly used for two other open source projects GDAL and QGIS, it would be cool for them to have it available in vcpkg.
I hope the change is fine, I tried to orient on available ports and hopefully didn't miss anything in the maintainer guide. Thanks for taking a look and maybe considering it.

Tagging team review to discuss the proper find_package call

Hmm.. https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/ports/unixodbc/usage#L4 I'll need to consult the team since this ports exports unofficial targets. Tagging vcpkg-team-review

Ok, it seems this is allowed and this should use the vcpkg provided configs instead.

Hey Javier, thanks for checking the change. I used the directions in the usage file of unixodbc: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/39a6cc0e44641977a7ccdfdb01a14eaf832aa330/ports/unixodbc/usage

Still, this failed. I think the correct target is unofficial::unixodbc::unixodbc, at least for me it looks like when checking the config https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/39a6cc0e44641977a7ccdfdb01a14eaf832aa330/ports/unixodbc/unofficial-unixodbc-config.cmake

If this is correct and it makes sense, I could open an issue or push a small fix.

The port in vcpkg supports "linux | osx"

Fixed it. I thought the same originally, but it seems to be the common way to use !windows for other packages. https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvcpkg+%22name%22%3A+%22unixodbc%22%2C+++++++%22platform%22%3A+%22%21windows%22&type=code

But I'm fine with either and for me "linux | osx" seems to be more precise, too.

Suggested change

+ IF(unofficial-unixodbc_FOUND)

I haven't dug too deep into the problem here but I suspect that this is still falling back to the find_package(ODBC REQUIRED) call below which ends up searching for odbc_config and attempts to execute it.

Suggested change

+IF(NOT ODBC_TARGET)

+ FIND_PACKAGE(ODBC REQUIRED)

+ SET(ODBC_TARGET ODBC::ODBC)

+ENDIF()

I don't think this fallback is needed.

I changed it to an if else clause, but in general it is necessary for for Windows, I think. Hope this fits for you.
