Hi All
Does anyone have any experience building DBD::Informix for the Windows platform ? I have managed to get through the perl Makefile.PL and an nmake which does not seem to return any errors but when I do the nmake test I get over 90% failures with each failure generating the errors similar to the following : Perl.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x28070693" referenced memory at "0x0205bfbx". The memory could not be "read". Here are my versions : perl -v This is perl, v5.6.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2000, Larry Wall Binary build 623 provided by ActiveState Tool Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com Built 16:27:07 Dec 15 2000 esql -v INFORMIX-ESQL Version 9.21.TC1 I am using Microsoft Visual Studio VC++ version 6 and nmake version 1.50. Once I've set the correct environment variables the make seems to like the informix environment. My stores7 database is on a remote server, but the make manages to establish a connection. I've also tested the Informix SDK using some of the supplied samples and I can retrieve data OK. I have successfully compiled and build this release on HPUX 10.20 and would really like to get it running on Win2K also so any help would be much appreciated.
