I thought the Doc was somewhat convoluted, so I won't say RTFM, though it is all there... here is a quicky:
1 Make sure you have installed the COMPLETE Admin/developer version of 9.2 ( with all libs!!! and headers not just oramts.lib under /ora92/oci/lib/msvc) You must install ALL.. 2 make sure your oracle home variable is set (ex ORACLE_HOME=c:\oracle\ora92) 3 make and Install DBI ( I use DBI-1.32.tar.gz). perl Makefile.pl make install 4 I use DBD-Oracle-1.12.tar.gz 5 read "README.wingcc" especially under "BUGS" specifically: " - liboci.a must be made before running Makefile.PL otherwise it will not be added to link list." 6 dlltool --input-def oci.def --output-lib liboci.a 7 make sure there aren't duplicate liboci.a's in the lib path. 8 NOW perl Makefile.pl (install DBI) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baras, Gal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 8:36 PM Subject: Linking Perl DBD::Oracle with Oracle 9.2 stropped OCI.DLL > Hell > > I'm trying to install the DBD::Oracle Perl module.
