Trying to install Oracle DBD and getting errors

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I am working on a windows machine running Windows Server 2003. The
version of Oracle I am trying to build against is 10.2.
and I am using iwperl (also tried with regular perl but had the same
problem).

When I try the command

iwperl Makefile.PL

I get the following sets of errors

C:\DBD-Oracle-1.16>iwperl Makefile.PL

(Of course, you have read README by now anyway, haven't you?)


Then if i try to run make (actually nmake) I get a number of unresolved
symbols
and LNK2001 and LNK2019 errors.

I have sucessfully installed this on Solaris and on windows XP against
Oracle 8i, so am a bit baffled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Trying to install Oracle DBD and getting errors

Your DBI 1.38 is a rather old. The current version is something like 1.49.
You might want to start by getting and installing the latest version of DBI.
Is there any reason you have to use 1.38?

I have also had good sucess using Activeperl and PPM. You may want to try
that product as well.

You might also want to try the Makefile.PL found on the Pythian branch of
the DBD:Oracle

http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbd-oracle/branches/pythian/

It has been proven to work for windows 2000.

Did you look at this line carefully? Immediately after the \lib you have
"\lib/auto/DBI"
Those forward slashes are not Windows/DOS friendly as a path name.
I'd find out where this error exists and correct that.
