Hi Perl Monks

I am a total newbie when it comes to Perl and I am currently trying (without success!) to compile the DBD::Sybase (OCS 15.7) using Strawberry Perl 5.18.2001 on a Windows 2008 R2 server.

Warnings and errors I am seeing are shown below starting with the makefile:-

Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -llibsybtcl.lib
Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -llibsybcomn.lib
Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -llibsybintl.lib

Then the dmake comes up with a number of issues:-

dbdimp.c:3906:4: warning: passing argument 2 of 'ct_results' from incompatible pointer type enabled by default
In file included from Sybase.h:19:0,

Any help is much appreciated
