[msw 2.8.6] how to build wxwidgets with wxODBC & wxDBGrid support

[Thomas Zehbe]

Hi, I'm sorry that I didn't realize that you are on windows (I always assume 
using Linux :)).

So you don't need the libiodbc, but just the odbc driver of the database of 
your choice.

In the doc/msw subdir you can find an install.txt. Search for mingw and you 
will find two ways to build wx - one using the makefile.gcc and options, the 
other way using configure. If you are using makefiles you have to add 
USE_ODBC as an option when building wx.

Regards,
Thomas
