Hi, I've been working on setting up a Cygwin server under Windows 2000 SP3.
I've successfully used CPAN to install DBI, and was mostly successfull in installing DBD::Mysql (v 2.1026) using CPAN through following instructions provided by Gerrit in an earlier message, ( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg02151.html and modified as suggested in: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg02202.html ) However, I did run into a couple hurdles. 1) The latest Mysql version I compiled the Mysql client from is 3.23.55 . Then, when compiling DBD::Mysql through CPAN, a couple tests that fail for reasons not entirely known to me when compiling w/o a local mysql server. -- so, I edited the mysql.mtest file in .cpan/build/DBD-Mysql-201026/t/ to point to a live running mysql server with a test database. 2) Next, I created a dll as per Gerrit's suggestion (and the Cygwin Docs at: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html#DLL-LINK ) gcc -shared -o cygmysqlclient-3.23.55.dll \ -Wl,--out-implib=libmysqlclient.dll.a -Wl,--export-all-symbols \ -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--whole-archive libmysqlclient.a \ -Wl,--no-whole-archive -lcrypt -lz -lmysqlclient -lm -L/usr/lib/mysql Here's the problem I'm having now though. When I run a perl script that calls DBI (which in turn uses DBI::Mysql to connect to the database I want to talk to). The perl script seems to do the database calls just fine, but dies when calling a windows software command. To make things even more odd. If I run the script giving it a flag that avoids the database call, the script runs the windows software command without trouble. This is certainly baffling to me, and makes me wonder if I shouldn't use the cygwin rebase command on my perl installation. However, I'd like to do this only on perl if possible. rebase refs: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00894.html --Tishler's #1 msg http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2003-02/msg00025.html #2 msg Can someone help me construct the proper rebase command that would fix perl to work with DBD::Mysql installed? Thanks much!
