Re: Mysteries of Oracle, Windows, and cygwin

perl Makefile.PL INC='-I/cygdrive/c/app/myname/product/12.1.0/client_2/oci/include/'

Just noticed the single quotes in the command. Might that be the problem ?

I always use double quotes for the INC arg on Windows - but since there's no spaces in the specified path you perhaps don't need any quotes at all in this instance.

And what about the missing "C:" (or whatever drive it is) ... does that matter ?
UPDATE: Brainfart - this is Cygwin, and therefore no drive letter. (Thanks Corion.)

Cheers,
Rob

The drive letter is there: cygdrive/c/app/myname/product/12.1.0/client_2/oci/include/. It's virtualised or aliased or whatever to that letter after 'cygdrive'.	[reply]
