Hi,
I just installed Oracle 10g and Perl 5.10 64 bit.
Now I'm trying to install DBD::Oracle, but I'm having problems. I first tried running the makefile.pl and received a message saying nothing in the LIB or INCLUDE path were set, run vcvars.bat to set the paths. I did this but it didn't set any path (using VC++ 2008 express). So I went in and set the paths manually to the lib and include folder in the VC folder directory. Now when I run perl makefile.pl I receive no linker found. And I receive notes that say: no library found for kernal32.lib, user32.lib, gdi32.lib, etc, etc. It then says its writing the makefile, but I dont know if I should continue on or not? Any suggestions?
Ask your system administrator. It seems your VC was set up in a weird way or you didn't run vcvars.bat in the correct way. Also, your path does not seem to point to the directory where cl.exe and link.exe live. This has nothing to do with Perl and everything to do with your C compiler setup.
