Compiling Perl MySQL DBD on FreeBSB for BillMax

Hello,

I am a Unix newbie in desperate need of help.

We are building a billing server for our company:

OS: FreeBSD 4.6
APP: BillMax w/MySQL

I need to write some Perl DBI hooks to interact with the MySQL db.

I was able to compile and install DBI-1.30 and Data-ShowTable-3.3 fine.

I am trying to compile DBD-mysql-2.1020 and have read all available
documentation on how to set the --cflags and --libs when running Makefile.PL
but it still can't pass the make test. It fails 96% of the tests.

I know that there is also the issue with different compilers and I have
tried to tell Makefile to use gcc but I can't seem to get the syntax right
for my Makefile command.

Here is the info:

gcc is at /usr/lib/libgcc.a

mysql.h is at /usr/local/billmax/mysql/include/mysql

libs are at /usr/local/billmax/mysql/lib/mysql (libmysqlclient.so)

test db/user/pw are not default so I have to set these as well


I would be most appreciative if someone could help me get the syntax down
for the Makefile command.

Thank you.
