Re^5: DBD:Mysql compilation failed on windows

As per your suggestion will remove the VC environment setting and try with Mingw

If you want to use a mingw compiler with a perl built by MSVC++, then you should install ExtUtils::FakeConfig. Run cpan -i ExttUtils::FakeConfig .
However, it has been at least 10 years since I've used that module, and I don't know if it's still fit for purpose. Then, whenever you want to use the mingw compiler, you just set the PERL5OPT environment variable to -MConfig_m :

set PERL5OPT=-MConfig_m

You might be better off just persevering with your VC++ compiler.
It's hard for me to tell.

This command (from your first post) looks wrong to me:

perl Makefile.PL --cflags=-IC:\mysql\include --libs="-LC:\mysql\lib -l
+mysqlclient" --testdb=vms --testuser=root --testpassword=cisco@123 --
+testhost=127.0.0.1 --testport=3306

Usually you would have:

perl Makefile.PL INC=-IC:\mysql\include LIBS="-LC:\mysql\lib -lmysqlcl
+ient" ....

That should at least make the MySQL headers and libraries locatable if they are in fact located where you're saying they are. Does C:/mysql/lib/mysqlclient.lib exist ? (I don't know about the remaining arguments. Is there documentation that's telling you to provide these arguments in these ways ?)

Maybe just try starting with a plain perl Makefile.PL. That's what Strawberry Perl does:

>perl Makefile.PL
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags       (mysql_config ) = -IC:\_32\strawberry5.24.0_32int\c\bin
+\..\include\mysql_5
  libs         (mysql_config ) = -LC:\_32\strawberry5.24.0_32int\c\bin
+\..\lib -lmysql
  mysql_config (guessed      ) = mysql_config
  testdb       (User's choice) = test
  testhost     (default      ) =
  testpassword (User's choice) =
  testport     (default      ) =
  testsocket   (default      ) =
  testuser     (User's choice) =

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc DBD::MariaDB::INSTALL'.

Checking if libs and header files are available for compiling...
Checking if correct version of MariaDB or MySQL client is present...
Looks good.
