I am trying to build the DBD-Informix module DBD-Informix-2003.04 on HP-UX 11.11v1 with Perl 5.8.0.B and gcc 3.3.3. The informix parameters are:
INFORMIXDIR=/apps11/informix ; export INFORMIXDIR INFORMIXSERVER=fab3_prd1 ; export INFORMIXSERVER PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin ; export PATH DBD_INFORMIX_DATABASE=stores7 ; export DBD_INFORMIX_DATABASE INFORMIXC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
You don't say which version of ClientSDK or ESQL/C you are using.
I get the following error during the perl Makefile.PL step.
Testing whether your Informix test environment will work... gcc: +Ofastaccess: No such file or directory gcc: +DS2.0: No such file or directory gcc: +DA1.1: No such file or directory cc1: error: unrecognized option `-H400000' Failed to compile esqltest.ec to esqltest.o
You're going to have to a bit of work on the esql script you have.
GCC does not recognize those HP C Compiler flags, so you need to remove them.
You will probably find the DBD_INFORMIX_DEBUG_ESQLCC and DBD_INFORMIX_DEBUG_ESQLLD environment variables of some use.
However, you probably need to try even more complex ones than that: DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLCC_REMOVE_OPTIONS_REGEX DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLLD_REMOVE_OPTIONS_REGEX
Actually, it would probably be easier to ensure that "." is on your PATH ahead of $INFORMIXDIR/bin, then do:
cp $INFORMIXDIR/bin/esql .
chmod u+w esql
${VISUAL:-vim} esqlAnd carefully remove those unrecognized options.
What's more problematic is working out whether you need to replace any of them. The +Ofastaccess is probably ignorable (or choose your favourite GCC optimizer options). The +DS2.0 +DA1.1 are related to the PA-RISC architecture - I'm not sure exactly how.
I cannot find any reference to that problem in the FAQ and the Notes directory.
