Windows native-native-gnu can't find odbc32.lib

[mjoerussell]

Not sure if this is an issue with Zig or something else that Zig is depending on, but I've noticed some issues in 0.8/master regarding using and linking to odbc32.lib on Windows. I've also tested on macos with master and found no issues.

I've confirmed that none of the below issues are present on Zig 0.8.0-dev.2305+d228d8605.

1. Importing C macro __MSABI_LONG(x) no longer works. I mentioned in the original issue Error when trying to import Windows SQL headers #9120 and was shown a fix that seems to work, but I'm still curious why it broke in the new release.
2. The following C #define's are no longer present:
   • SQL_OV_ODBC3_80
   • SQL_CP_DRIVER_AWARE
   • SQL_PARAM_DATA_AVAILABLE
3. The most pressing issue - I'm unable to link against odbc32.lib.

If I try to build a project which links against odbc32.lib in Zig version 0.9.0-dev.140+4173a2bc2, I get the following error:

error(link): DLL import library for -lodbc32 not found
error: DllImportLibraryNotFound
zdb...The following command exited with error code 1:

run

The same code running on Zig 0.8.0-dev.2305+d228d8605 links with no issues, on the exact same Windows configuration.

This is probably why: #6565. Try setting the target to native-native-msvc.

I think I'm still missing something, once I specify that then the @cImport starts failing.

When I import this:

@cImport({
    @cDefine("__MSABI_LONG(x)", "(long)(x)");
    @cInclude("windows.h");
    @cInclude("sql.h");
    @cInclude("sqltypes.h");
    @cInclude("sqlext.h");
})

Then it can't seem to find the header files. Whichever one is listed first will be shown in the error message, so for example:

.\zig-odbc\src\c.zig:4:5: error: C import failed
    @cImport({
    ^
.\zig-cache\o\c7cfe15038263b66e244a7a456675868\cimport.h:2:10: note: 'windows.h' file not found
#include <windows.h>

Looks like this is the same issue as this: #9093

Just tested on Windows native-native-gnu and this is working again. Closing this issue.
