DBD:mysql module build on Solaris 11.2
I have a new Solaris 11.2 installation in a SPARC LDOM. I used IPS and installed MySQL 5.5. And since I am runnning Perl 5.12 I installed database-512 also.
On Solaris Perl is 32 bit. MySQL is 64 bit. When you try to build the DBD::mysql module you get all sorts of build failures due to 32 vs 64 bit incompatibity.
Normal module install syntax gives you ELF problems:
perl Makefile.PL
So after a lot of frustation I finally found this to work:
perl Makefile.PL --mysql_config=/usr/mysql/5.5/bin/sparcv7/mysql_config
It uses 32 bit libraries and includes. The 'make' worked. I did see one error when I ran 'make test' but I think that was due to the virtual machine I am running in. I ran 'make install' and it installed fine. I have a working web page now.
I wanted to post this so I can find it when I forget what I did.
