I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (User's choice) = -I/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/
  embedded      (mysql_config ) =
  libs          (User's choice) = -L/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/
  mysql_config  (Users choice ) = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql_config
  nocatchstderr (default      ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default      ) = 0
  nossl         (default      ) = 0
  testdb        (User's choice) = test
  testhost      (default      ) =
  testpassword  (default      ) =
  testport      (default      ) =
  testsocket    (default      ) =
  testuser      (User's choice) = root

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'.

Checking if libs are available for compiling...
Looks good.
