DBI Module for windows

[Andreas Bauer]

Hello NG,

I installed ActivePerl for windows and want to install a DBI Module, but it
fails. I tried from ActivePerl page dbi 1.25 with perl -MCPAN -e "install
Bundle:DBI". The result is, that at teh end of compiling the package, there
is a errormessage:
nmake for windows not found.
Do someone have experiences with DBI moules for Win32?

Best regards
Andreas

Looks like John Bokma can help you there. Google found this (as the first
hit) with keywords perl windows nmake.

Installed nmake.exe and nmake.err, but at compling with
perl -MCPAN -e "install Bundle::DBI"
the script stopped at the line, - t/ithreadm......ok 1/10Terminat:

Running make test
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenan

F:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "-

t/config........ok
t/fork..........skipped
all skipped: no reason
t/forkm.........skipped

t/ithread.......ok
t/ithreadm......ok 1/10Terminat

So that I had to ended it with STRG C.
Then script did:
NMAKE : U1058:
Stop.
Terminating on signal SIGINT(2)

If I run my application adressbuch.pl there are folowing
errormessages of the apache error.log:

ppm install DBI

doesn't work? I never use the -MCPAN thingy with ActivePerl.

Which driver do you need?

last time I checked, installing the ODBC driver also installed DBI. I am
quite sure the same holds for the MySQL driver.

I don't think that error has anything to do with the involvement of DBI ...
probably something else in your script.

Just means that DBI has not been installed correctly - probably because
'nmake install' did not get run. The errors that follow that one are simply
a consequence of the botched installation of DBI.
DBI.pm is being found, but the "loadable object" (DBI.dll), which is the
compiled part of the module, is missing.

My hunch is that you could force an 'nmake install', and the module would be
quite serviceable for you - though the test failure reveals that there is at
least one limitation to the module's capabilities on your machine.

Another alternative would be for you to run (while connected to the
internet):
ppm install [url]http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/DBI.ppd[/url]

That would give you version 1.50 of DBI.

Browse to [url]http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/[/url] to view the list of other ppm
packages for perl 5.8 available from that repository.
