in reply to How to build DBD::MySQL

fredo2906,
See DBD::mysql installation. I ended up having to use a combination of Cygwin and Windows but MinGW should be able to do the same. You might want to start at this point in the thread.

    Can you explain your procedure ?
      fredo2906,
      Given that it was more than 3 years ago and I only did it once, probably not. The basic outline was this:
      • Install MySQL Server for Windows
      • Ensure the client libraries are NOT in PATH
      • Compile the client libraries from source in Cygwin
      • Ensure the Cygwin client libraries are in PATH
      • Compile and install DBD::mysql in Cygwin using this guide

      Note: The guide referenced in the last step actually points to various other resources.

      Cheers - L~R
