Unable to pip install pyodbc on mac

I am trying to install pyodbc with pip on macOS(12.3.1), but that didn't work.

In error log, Message says "fatal error: 'sql.h' file not found". Some people are helped by the command brew install unixodbc. I did run brew install unixodbc, but errors remain emerge.

My environment: Macbook pro M1 pip (22.0.4) Python (3.10) pyenv (2.2.5)

I'm sorry for broken english and poor understand on python.

% pip3 install pyodbc

TL, DR

brew install unixodbc

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/unixodbc/[your version]/lib" 
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/unixodbc/[your version]/include"

pip install pyodbc

Explain

pyodbc doesn't have pre-build wheels for M1 mac. See https://pypi.org/project/pyodbc/#files . If I remember correctly, pre-build wheels for M1 should have tag looks like pandas-1.4.3-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl, "universal".

So what pip does is downloading the source (tar.gz) and trying to build locally. Then you need some C header files and source files to in order to bulid.

brew install unixodbc install those files. But for brew installed on M1 mac, those files are not installed in system default search directories. So that's why you need to manually speicify some additional directories for the compiler to search and then run pip install pyodbc:

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/unixodbc/[your version]/lib" 
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/unixodbc/[your version]/include"

I encountered the problem when trying to install pyodbc==4.0.31 but performing an update to pyodbc==4.0.34 solved my problem.
