it seem the Cygwin Perl can't see a client libraries needed to build DBD::Mysql. Innovative lad that I am I figured I'd just compile my own from 5.1.44 (current download). Nice thought.
What happens is the build fails as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --without-server [ much configurage ] make [ much makage ] vi.c: In function ‘get_alias_text’: vi.c:918: error: expected declaration specifiers before ‘__weak_reference’ vi.c:923: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token vi.c:953: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token vi.c:998: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token vi.c:1054: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token vi.c:1103: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token vi.c:918: error: parameter name omitted vi.c:1124: error: expected ‘{’ at end of input make[2]: *** [vi.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mysql-5.1.44/cmd-line-utils/libedit' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/mysql-5.1.44/cmd-line-utils' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Any ideas on how I can get the libraries and headers to build DBD::mysql?
