Re^2: Installing DB_File on Windows

I think you're right but i can't find libdb.a file on my system. db.h header file is there but i have full install of Berkeley DB and check whole disk for libdb.a with no result.

I think you're right but i can't find libdb.a file on my system It's quite possible that the import lib that shipped with the msi package that you installed had a different name - eg is there a 'db.lib' ? If you can identify the import lib (irrespective of the name it has), then simply create a copy of it called 'libdb.a' in a location where it will be found, and MinGW should have no trouble linking to it. Once that warning about `Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldb` goes away, you're a chance to succeed. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Where did you install it? What I did last time was download zip version, unzip, start msys and `cd db-4.7.25/build_unix sh ../dist/configure make` [download] Then switch back to cmd.exe `cd ../perl/DB_File perl -pi.orig -e "s!^(INCLUDE\|LIB)\s.*!$1\t= ../../build_unix/!" confi +g.in perl Makefile.PL dmake test dmake install` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
