Hi all,
Being new to DBI (although not to Perl or CPAN modules) I recently
downloaded the latest DBI version and attempted to install under Windows
2000 with the normal:
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
... however the C compile is failing due to a whole load of undefined
symbols. Perhaps this is because I'm using an older version of Perl
(5.004_04) but changing this is problematic (although if I have to
because of this I guess that's life) as a lot of other things rely on
it. Nor do I want to do a binary download since the build environment
I'm using is cross-platform and Perl is one of the bits which just works
on all platforms at the moment.
Having looked through this list archive I see that the 1.201 is actually
meant to be a test release, but since it has been uploaded to both CPAN
and the DBI homepage it appears to be impossible to download an earlier,
possibly more stable release which might fix the problem - anyone know
of a method for fetching older versions of the module? Although I'm
happy to help with debugging the test version I really need to get up
and running here with something that works..
For reference the errors start around line 1611 with the subroutine
definition for dbi_dopoptosub_at. Changing STATIC to lowercase removes
the first error but the main problem is the PERL_SI symbol (and related
symbols) which I can't find defined anywhere in either the DBI subtree
or the Perl subtree.
Perl is built in the same environment, and works fine, as do all the
other 15-20 modules or so that I regularly build.
Any help appreciated,
Keith.
