What do you have already?
Did you configure ODBC DSN, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH?
Some information about configuring ODBC, you can find here.
First of all I think you need iODBC installed on your mac.
then ODBC Caché drivers, with correct environment variable DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, do not forget to relogin after the set variable.
As proof, that's possible to do it. Done with Caché 2018.1
Thanks, but I can(t find the correct way to install Caché ODBC. Do I have to extract it in a special folder or so and then follow the UNIX-like installation or something else ?
It actually, does not matter, where to install drivers.
My Caché works in docker, so, I downloaded ODBC drivers from the ftp.
extracted it, just in Downloads, and run there
ODBCInstall
from a terminal.with ODBCInstall I got file mgr/cacheodbc.ini, which I copied to
~/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini
, there will be as User DSN./Library/ODBC/odbc.ini
for System DSN.DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH should follow to bin folder in extracted ODBC Drivers folder
in my case
you can check connection with iODBC Manager, running right from terminal
and open excel same way
So, you'll be able to test settings without relogin
