One thing I did see, you're trying to use Windows Paths with Cygwin. As far as I know, you need to use Cygwin paths with Cygwin, not Windows paths, meaning POSTGRES_LIB=/cygdrive/c/Program Files/PostgreSQL. In particular, GNU make dislikes Windows-style paths. I don't really recommend using Cygwin to compile things for ActiveState, as you're basically trying to get two completely different toolchains to co-exist. Unless you have a lot of experience doing that, you're in for a world of hurt. Someone else has already mentioned the ActiveState repository that has a copy of DBD::Pg, that will be the easiest solution to your problem if you want to keep using ActiveState. > POSTGRES_HOME: c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3 > POSTGRES_INCLUDE: c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\include > POSTGRES_LIB: c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\lib > OS: MSWin32 > Checking if your kit is complete... > Looks good > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lpq > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lsecur32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lkernel32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -luser32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgdi32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lwinspool > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lcomdlg32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ladvapi32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lshell32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lole32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -loleaut32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lnetapi32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -luuid > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lws2_32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmpr > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lwinmm > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lversion > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lodbc32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lodbccp32 > Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmsvcrt Cygwin won't know anything about most of the above Windows libraries, they come from Visual C++. In the "pimp my own wares" department, If you're looking for a natively compiled Perl for Windows with the popular DBD drivers already compiled and set up, you might consider Camelbox [1].
