I followed the instruction here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod Everything worked OK except of the 'make' step for DBD::mysql so this is what I did: installing mysql and cygwin: -->OK 1) installed mysql under windows xp successfully 2) installed all cygwin modules successfully 3) I installed and run perl scripts and modules on cygwin with no problems DBI under cygwin: -->OK 1) I installed DBI successfully (makefile, make, make test, make install) installed mysql linux source under cygwin --> OK 1) cygwin is installed under C:\cygwin folder. 2) I unpacked mysql linux source to C:\cygwin\home. 3) I CD to the new folder (C:\cygwin\home\mysql-5.0.37). 4) run the command: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --without-server 5) make 6) make install 7) cd /usr/local/mysql/bin 8) connected successfully to mysql server under cygwin by: ./mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root 9) tested mysql under cygwin (select,insert,use, etc..) and everything worked fine. installing DBD --> PROBLEM IN STEP 5 1) tar -xvf DBD-mysql-4.004.tar 2) cd DBD-mysql-4.004 3) cp /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config . 4) perl Makefile.PL --testhost=127.0.0.1 5) make ------------> got errors this is the output I got from 'make': $ make cp lib/DBD/mysql.pm blib/lib/DBD/mysql.pm cp lib/DBD/mysql/GetInfo.pm blib/lib/DBD/mysql/GetInfo.pm cp lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod blib/lib/DBD/mysql/INSTALL.pod cp lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm blib/lib/Bundle/DBD/mysql.pm gcc -c -I/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin/auto/DBI -I/usr/local/mysql/includ e/mysql -DDBD_MYSQL_INSERT_ID_IS_GOOD -g -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -fno-strict-ali asing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 -DVERSION=\"4.004\" -DXS_V ERSION=\"4.004\" "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin/CORE" dbdimp.c In file included from dbdimp.c:20: dbdimp.h:23:45: mysqld_error.h: No such file or directory dbdimp.c: In function `mysql_db_FETCH_attrib': dbdimp.c:2296: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size dbdimp.c: In function `mysql_st_prepare': dbdimp.c:2508: error: `ER_UNSUPPORTED_PS' undeclared (first use in this function ) dbdimp.c:2508: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once dbdimp.c:2508: error: for each function it appears in.) dbdimp.c: In function `mysql_st_FETCH_attrib': dbdimp.c:4136: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size make: *** [dbdimp.o] Error 1 I would be greatful for your help Thanks Avi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
