DBD::Informix install issues
I am trying to install DBD::Informix on a Solaris machine. Solaris 8 with Sun "C" compiler installed and gcc version 2.95.2. Informix Database version 9.3.FC3 Informix CSDK 2.80 with ESQL/C 9.52.FC2 I can compile esqlc programs and run it correctly. Here is log : # perl Makefile.PL *** ExtUtils::AutoInstall version 0.52 *** Checking for dependencies... [Core Features] - DBI ...loaded. (1.37 >= 1.33) [High Resolution Timing] - Time::HiRes ...loaded. (1.2) *** ExtUtils::AutoInstall configuration finished.

There are couple of things you have to do manually to build with a 64-bit GCC - I have the details around, somewhere. First of all, you need to get the Perl built with 64-bit version of GCC - I'm pretty sure you used it in 32-bit mode (because there is no -m64 option shown for GCC, and I'm not at all sure GCC 2.9x supported 64-bit Sparc; I stand to be proved wrong.) If you have a 32-bit Perl, the simplest thing to do is to install a 32-bit CSDK and go with that. Once you have a 64-bit Perl, you can indeed build DBD::Informix with a 64-bit CSDK, but you have to a bit more work than usual - a must fix for the next release. You have to cauterize the -xarch=v9 or -xarch=sparcv9 flag; there is an environment variable DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLCC_REMOVE_OPTIONS_REGEX which can be set to remove that: export DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLCC_REMOVE_OPTIONS_REGEX='^-xarch=(sparc)?v9$' You also need to get the 64-bit options through to the linker, which does not happen by default. I did find a way to do that; it may be by setting INFORMIXC="gcc -m64" - I'll investigate if you need the info. You ask about substituting the Sun C compiler for GCC; you have to build Perl with the compiler you want to use - so to use SUNWspro C (Forte C), you'd rebuild Perl and tell it to use cc instead of gcc. > Here is log : > > # perl Makefile.PL > *** ExtUtils::AutoInstall version 0.52 > *** Checking for dependencies... > [Core Features] > - DBI ...loaded.
