Hi Goofy,

In the distant past I once successfully compiled DBD::Informix on Unix. The test it seems to be doing is trying to compile an "embedded SQL" file which means C language code with Informix SQL embedded in it. If you have all the Informix SDK tools installed that should work, but under Cygwin you might have some trouble.

You will have more success on a Linux/Unix box with Informix if you have one available. You will probably also have more success using regular Windows Perl (Activestate) since the Informix SDK for windows will be targetted at windows and not Cygwin (which has important library linking differences).
