  74                               <h2>How to build DBD::MySQL</h2>
  75
  76 <p>After downloading DBD::mysql from
  77 <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql-4.003/lib/DBD/mysql.pm">http://search.cpan.org/~capttofu/DBD-mysql-4.003/lib/DBD/mysql.pm</a> I encountered some problems. First one needs to use the appropriate perl, one that has a compatible DBI module already. I found this in /app/cmpackages/perl/bin/perl. The more standard perl, /apps/perl/5.8.3/bin/perl seems to have a newer DBI module that is not compatible with the DBD::mysql that I downloaded.</p>
  78
  79 <p>Then one needs to give the proper parameters to generate the Makefile:</p>
  80
  81 <div class=code><pre>
  82 $ export PATH=$PATH:/apps/mysql/4.0.16/bin
  83 $ /apps/cmpackages/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
  84 &gt;    --libs="-L/apps/mysql/4.0.16/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz" \
  85 &gt;    --cflags=-I/apps/mysql/4.0.16/include/mysql \
  86 &gt;    --testhost=mysql01.dal.design.ti.com \&nbsp;&nbsp; <font
  87  color="#ff0000"><i>These will not always be the same</i></font>
  88 &gt;    --testuser=ccprojects \&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#ff0000"><i>This will change</i></font>
  89 &gt;    --testpassword=ccpr0jects &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font color="#ff0000"><i>This will change (note the 0 not O)</i></font>
  90 </pre></div>
  91
  92 <p>Note that we explicitly use /apps/cmpackages/perl/bin/perl here. I would rather use /apps/perl/5.8.3/bin/perl but it's DBI appears to be too new for this version of DBD::mysql (!).</p>
  93
  94 <p>This will produce a Makefile which you then do:</p>
  95
  96 <div class=code><pre>
  97 $ make
  98 $ make test
  99 </pre></div>
 100
 101 <p>Alas, normally one would do a make install but that would attempt to install into /usr/local/perl, not something we wish to do. And there doesn't appear to be a way to pack into Makefile.PL where you want to eventually install this module when make install is run, so we need to actually modify the Makefile itself.</p>
 102
 103 <p>Turns out that perl Makefile.PL &lt;<i>options</i>&gt; specifies which perl to use thus the following appears in the generated Makefile:</p>
 104
 105 <div class=code><pre>
 106 INSTALLPRIVLIB = /apps/cmpackages/perl/lib/5.8.0
 107 INSTALLSITELIB = /apps/cmpackages/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.0
 108 INSTALLVENDORLIB =
 109 INSTALLARCHLIB = /apps/cmpackages/perl/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi
 110 INSTALLSITEARCH = /apps/cmpackages/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris-thread-multi
 111 INSTALLVENDORARCH =
 112 INSTALLBIN = /apps/cmpackages/perl/bin
 113 INSTALLSITEBIN = /apps/cmpackages/perl/bin
 114 INSTALLVENDORBIN =
 115 INSTALLSCRIPT = /apps/cmpackages/perl/bin
 116 </pre></div>
 117
 118 <p>Thus this means a make install will install the module into whichever Perl installation we specified in the perl Makefile.PL &lt;<i>options</i>&gt;! Alas we cannot write to those areas yet...</p>
