Welcome to the exciting world of MDB Tools! In short, MDB Tools is a set of
programs to help you use Microsoft Access file in various settings. The major
pieces are:
```
. libmdb - the core library that allows access to MDB files programatically.
. libmdbsql - builds on libmdb to provide a SQL engine (aka Jet)
. utils - provides command line utilities:

If you want to build the html version of the docbook documentation, you need to
set the environment variable DOCBOOK_DSL to the modular dsl translation file.
For exemple, before configure, you need something like:
$ export DOCBOOK_DSL=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/docbook.dsl
```bash
$ export DOCBOOK_DSL=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/html/docbook.dsl
$ ./configure
$ ./configure
```
OR for a complete install (requires bison, flex, and unixODBC):
$ ./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr/local
```bash
$ ./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr/local
```
configure can be passed any of the following flags to turn on other
capabilities. Note that the options --with-unixodbc and --with-iodbc are
capabilities. Note that the options `--with-unixodbc` and `--with-iodbc` are
mutually exclusive.
```
--with-unixodbc specifies the location of the unixODBC driver manager and
causes the unixODBC driver to be built.
--with-iodbc specifies the location of the iODBC driver manager and
causes the iODBC driver to be built.
A list of general options is available in the INSTALL file, and
"configure --help" will give you the list of mdbtools specific options.
```
$ make

`configure --help` will give you the list of mdbtools specific options.
```bash
$ make

Once MDB Tools has been compiled, libmdb.[so|a] will be in the src/libmdb
directory and the utility programs will be in the src/util directory.
You can then run 'make install' as root to install (to /usr/local by default).
You can then run `make install` as root to install (to /usr/local by default).
Some systems will also need the ld cache to be updated after installation;
You can do that running 'ldconfig' as root.
