hi.

if this is too off-topicy, all apologies...just looking for someone who has
done this...

i'm using win2k, firebird rc2, and activeperl. perl DBD install is being
quite a bugger.

realized i needed to compile it from source, so i installed the borland c++
compiler and pmake. then installed the pmake patch for activeperl.

now when i try to install the DBD it chokes and i get:

C:\DBDINT>pmake test
Reading c:/Perl/lib/Make.pm
Cannot open C:\DBDINT\Makefile:No such file or directory at
c:\Perl\bin/PMAKE.bat line 24

well, the Makefile is there, SO...then I obviously look at line 24 of
PMAKE.bat and find:

my $info = Make->new(GNU => $opt{'g'},
Override => { MAKE => "$^X $0" },
Makefile => $opt{'f'},
Jobs => $opt{'j'},
Dir => $opt{'C'});

so obviously $info is providing a variable for this to use locally...i'm
stuck :\ as I suck.

anyone experienced with similar issues willing to help me out?

thanks in advance,

jd
