Re: Trying to create a DBD::Sybase binary file

Sounds like a unix makefile is running on Windows and is making/cross compiling a SO, now the question is, how did that succeed without unix import libs, and does that SO link to kernel32 or does it link to WINE, and does it contain x86 machine code? :-D

More seriously, from my mingw experience, all dlls are made with calls to dlltool normally. You dont have that call. Sounds like you are running a unix makefile on Windows, or whatever made the makefile (maybe a makefile.pl) thinks you are on unix. Cygwin Perl or Mingw Perl?

try a "dmake -n all" or "dmake -n install" or whatever target you are using and post that output here.

I am running dmake on Windows XP. Should I run nmake or some other 'make'? Thanks very much!!	[reply] [d/l]

I am not sure. You are using dmake with ActivePerl. I dont have experience with that. I believe makemaker needs to be informed whether to create dmake or nmake makefiles. I dont know how to do that. Did you do a dmake clean before the dmake -n install? You are missing a large amount of commands from the -n output.	[reply]

Do you see ActivePerl::DocTools? ActiveState does that by patching MakeMaker.pm and Config.pm, so if you did `ppm install MinGW` dmake ought to work out of the box	[reply] [d/l]
