Dear Tim,
I'm trying to install DBI-1.20 on an Ultra 5 running Solaris 8.
Solaris 8 comes with Perl and GNU software already installed, so the
install is using GNU tools. I did install make-3.78.1 earlier. I have
copied exactly what transpired when I began the installation. Any
information would be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks,
Larry Schweizer
# perl Makefile.PL
*** Note:
The optional PlRPC-modules (RPC::PlServer etc) are not installed.
If you want to use the DBD::Proxy driver and DBI::ProxyServer
modules, then you'll need to install the RPC::PlServer, RPC::PlClient,
Storable and Net::Daemon modules. The CPAN Bundle::DBI may help you.
You can install them any time after installing the DBI.
You do *not* need these modules for typical DBI usage.
Optional modules are available from any CPAN mirror, in particular
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module
http://www.perl.org/CPAN/modules/by-module
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for DBI
Remember to actually *read* the README file!
Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows).
Then 'make test' to execute self tests.
Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working
directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers.
