I'm a slimserver newbee, so I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before....
I'm using slimserver Version 6.0b1 - 2005-03-08, along with it's embedded version of Softqueeze (eagerly awaiting shipment of my SB2), on Windows XP, SP2. I'd like to switch slimserver over to a mySql database. I understand that this is not officially supported, but apparently possible. I found all of the posts about changing the slimserver.pref, (especially http://article.gmane.org/gmane.music.equipment.slimdevices.general/24879) and have done so, but still haven't been able to make it work. I'm an experienced C++ and Java programmer, but almost completely unfamiliar with perl. That said, it seems to me that the problem is that the DBI module for supporting mySQL (DBD:mysql) is missing. I tracked down some info on that, but it seems that the only way to get it is to get the source and compile it. If I understand correctly, this is a problem because the perl environment that is installed with slimserver is partially compiled. Has someone already added mySql support, who can make a Windows binary available, or must I install a full perl development environment to make this change? All advice is welcome.
