in reply to Win32 installing DBD::mysql, unresolved external symbol

Things went wrong during perl Makefile.PL.

It tries to execute the mysql_config command, which should be in C:\Progra~1\MySQL\bin (check it?). This command returns the correct paths used by mysql (what the lib directory, is the include dir, ...).

What you failed to do is add the C:\Progra~1\MySQL\bin to the PATH-environment variable (you can do this in the autoxexc.bat/nt file and/or via my computer (somewhere there is an option to do that).

    Actually mysql_config wasn't in bin, but I did some hackery to make it work. It now finds mysql_config and generates the exact same error. Whups.
