need help installing ODBCConfig and myodbc

from   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … nnectivity

Myodbc
Myodbc is ODBC driver/connector for mariadb.
Installation
Install myodbcAUR from official repositories. (The package disappeared from oficial repositories and does not exist in AUR either. Google search appears to have seen it in March 2016 last time.)
Configuration
Starting with odbcinst.ini, which lists all installed drivers. Su to root and set up your /etc/odbcinst.ini file as follows

so if there's no repostiory for it where does one get myodbc?
I attempted to build unixodbc-gui-qt-code (which I don't know if that's ODBCconfig) but ... that failed mixed versions of qt and all. 

installed qt5-base ; ran configure it didn't find qt
installed qt4 ; ran configure; it didn't find qt

patched configure to use /usr/include/qt4 

and then build ended up failing; would be nice if these were just packages one could install.

I don't know, did you look in the AUR?

No... 1) the note in the wiki said it wasn't there
2) Have never had success installing anything from AUR and is typically easier to manually build and install (except this time)

however; since mariaDB isn't MySQL and myodbc from MySQL relies on headers from mysql I'd imagine that mariadb doesn't provide.... anyway there is a mariadb-odbc connector; which expects to find things installed in /usr/include/mariadb and have mariadb-config to use instead of 'mysql*' of all of those.

--------------
so tracked down howto AUR ...
got the myodbc snapshot, built and installed it.
It segfaults.

Also doesn't help installing ODBCConfig.
