Topic: apr_dbd_u_name_it

I believe these are your's Tom and I did not see anything in Docs (though I may have missed) explaining this;


-------------------Configuration: BuildBin - Win32 Release--------------------
..
-----
apr_dbd drivers will not build unless DBD_LIST is set to the list
of all the client modules available in the LIB and INCLUDE path.


Care to explain or point me to some place that does explain?

Thanks

The DBD drivers are not all mine - although I did contribute the ODBC driver.

The APR included with Apache 2.2.9 will not build DBD drivers correctly, but you can replace it with APR 1.3.2 and build the DBD drivers (like Steffen does).

* Delete srclib\apr, srclib\apr-util, and srclib\apr-iconv

* Download http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-1.3.2-win32-src.zip
and http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-util-1.3.2-win32-src.zip
and http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/apr-iconv-1.2.1-win32-src-r2.zip

* unzip these into srclib.

* Rename them to apr, apr-util, and apr-iconv

The ODBC driver will always get built with APR 1.3.2 on Windows. It does not need any DBD_LIST, nor any extra header files or libraries.

If you want to build some of the other DBD drivers too:

* Add the database's header directory to your INCLUDE environment variable, and its library directory to your LIB environment variable.

* Pass the space-separated list of drivers as DBD_LIST="..." to NMAKE for a command-line build.

For example, for four DBD drivers - ODBC, SQLite3, MySQL, and PostgreSQL:

That happened to be SVN 2.2.10-dev with trunk APR.

I'll I shall follow these instruction (probably not till the weekend however) and leave word here after how it went.

Thanks as always
