Hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me find a solution to
building DBDs on strawberry Perl. A typical example of a failure is:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/09/msg2282300.html
and it seems to be down to the fact that when people using strawberry
perl attempt to install a DBD from cpan shell, perl is executed with
paths on the command line that override the paths injected into the
Makefile by Makefile.PL (Makefile.PL adds the path to the DBI's header
files). As a result the build always fails with various DBI header files
not found even though DBI is installed. This is getting quite
frustrating for me as I got a number of cpan testers failures in the
past for this and I get this issue reported to me regularly but I have
as yet found permanent solution other than tinkering with the Makefile
after it is generated.
See http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=32789 where this issue
was first reported and http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=32811.
Anyone have any ideas how to get Makefile.PL to add to the INC path when
INC is specified on the perl command line?
Martin
