I have sent this to Jonathan Leffer's mail, but he didn't respond, so I
think he didn't get. I'm sending it here too...
Well, I was wrong. When I make these changes the process seems to be
successful, but informix.dll doesn't get built. I investigated this a little
more and found that if I comment out lines 642 and 643 in makefile.pl, which
are:
#$opts{LD} = "INFORMIXC='\$(FULLPERL) esqlld' " .
# "ESQLLD='$Config{ld} \$(LDDLFLAGS)' \$(ESQL)";
maybe this should be changed to:
$opts{LD} = "INFORMIXC='\$(FULLPERL) esqlld' " .
"ESQLLD='$Config{ld} \$(LDDLFLAGS)' \$(ESQL)" unless $NTConfiguration;
then everything is just fine, but the tests fail.
When running nmake test a window pops-up, which says:
perl.exe Application Error
The instruction at 0x280869d7" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory
could not be "written"
and in the console I get
Free to wrong pool 15d33c8 not 80102 at
E:\Downloads\DBD-Informix-2003.04\blib\lib/DBD/Informix.pm line 180.
I have no idea what these thing mean.
