F.Y.I.
I tried a strawberry build with success using following steps:
One file change only needed to make in DBD::Pg source is:
Makefile.PL -
add 'use DBI::DBD;'.
comment out "unlink $output->{MAKEFILE};" at line 247
set required environment:
set PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin;%PATH%
set DBI_DSN=dbi:Pg:dbname=testdb
set DBI_USER=username
set DBI_PASS=password
set POSTGRES_HOME=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3
set POSTGRES_INCLUDE=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3/include
set POSTGRES_LIB=C:/PROGRA~1/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib
perl Makefile.PL
Now here's the ugly bit: edited both EXTRALIBS and LDLOADLIBS in the resulting
Makefile to include
C:\PROGRA~1\PostgreSQL\8.3\lib\libpq.lib
then
dmake
dmake test
all works fine.
I'm sure there are some simple params or alterations to Makefile.PL possible to
avoid the ugly edit - but the knowledge is lacking behind this keyboard. That
aside it works.
I shall have a look at making Makefile.PL MinGW and VC6 friendly as I could do
with learning how to fix these lib issues for myself. I'll post a patch if
no-one else has resolved it by the time I've learned what to do.
Regards
Mark
