Re^4: DBD::Sybase make fails because of incompatible shared object(.so)

Thanks @corion & @Anonymous Monk

'make' was successful once i modified the following entries in Makefile to -

EXTRALIBS = -L/opt/sap/OCS-16_0/lib -lsybct64 -lsybcs64 -lsybtcl64 -ls
+ybcomn64 -lsybintl64 -lsybblk64 -DSYB_LP64
LDLOADLIBS = -L/opt/sap/OCS-16_0/lib -lsybct64 -lsybcs64 -lsybtcl64 -l
+sybcomn64 -lsybintl64 -lsybblk64 -ldl -lm -DSYB_LP64

It is now picking up all the 64 bit .so files. It was complaining for the following files -

 - libsybct64.so/libsybct.so 
 - libsybcs64.so/libsybcs.so
 - libsybtcl64.so/libsybtcl.so
 - libsybcomn64.so/libsybcomn.so
 - libsybintl64.so/libsybintl.so 
 - libsybblk64.so/libsybblk.so

Even though my issue is resolved, out of curiosity i was wondering what changes needs to be done to 'Makefile.PL' to generate correct 'Makefile'.

Also why one should modify these files, shouldn't it automatically understand that it is a 64 bit machine and the perl module should look for 64 bit version of .so file.

Have you searched `Makefile.PL` for example for `sybintl` ? It seems to have only one occurrence. I would assume that this would be a proper place to make the change. As to the need of modification, as Makefile.PL is a (Perl) program like many others, it is most likely that it simply doesn't support the detection and adaption to the bitness.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
