Обсуждение: Perl with Postrges under Cygwin
Hi folks,
I'm new to the list and need some help please.
I've been happily using Spamassassin for several months under
Cygwin (Linux under Win2K), and previously under Linux itself. So with
this confidence in the package I thought I'd improve things by linking in
the database option.
That's where my problem starts. I went to CPAN to find a DBI and
DBD for Postgres (had to grab the ODBC DBD as there wasn't one for
Postgres), trouble is that the install of the DBI pgsql relies on dynamic
libraries so I was hoping there was a binary port of these modules or
advice on installation?
Sorry I forgot to mention the most important part and that is that
the files libpq.so and libpq-fe.h do not appear to be present under my Cygwin
installation .
The next thing I tried was the perl DBI module Postgres-1.4, however
when compiling this I got the following errors.
gcc -c -I/usr/local/postgres95/include -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -DUSEIMPORTLIB
-O2 -DVERSION=\"1.4\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.4\" -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE Postgres.c
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_PGconnPtr_getline':
Postgres.xs:148: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
Postgres.xs:148: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Postgres.xs:148: for each function it appears in.)
Postgres.xs: In function `XS_QUERYPtr_fetchrow':
Postgres.xs:339: `sv_undef' undeclared (first use in this function)
make: *** [Postgres.o] Error 1
Can someone help me please to get Perl and Postgres working?
Thanks again,
Jim

DBD::Pg builds OOTB, with current DBI and Cygwin Perl versions.

.so files are never there, just .dll libs. If you have installed
postgres there are also the libs and headers. Look in /lib or /bin
for the .dll's and in /usr/include/postgresql for the headers.

DBD-Pg?

What is the name of the module you are trying to compile?
Have you read the README in that package?

I run Win2K, Perl 5.6.1 and haven't managed to install DBD-Pg (nor any Perl/Postgres interface or driver). The binary package, when un-tarred, creates a 'blib' sub-directory but I have no idea where to put this.

Could you explain to me the packages I need (and dependencies) to be able to use perl with postresql under cygwin? I realise I'm virtually asking for things to be handed to me on a plate but this is only to get to 1st base in another project (SpamAssassin with a configurable white_list). <snip> > > Gerrit >

Huh? We are talking about Cygwin. No Win32 is involved here.

Cygwin, Perl, PostgreSQL, GCC, binutils, make, and some more
buildtools like sed, bash, much is already in the base
category if you've installed Cygwin with setup.exe.
Then, after having a running postgres DB you can install DBI and
DBD::Pg.
Just use the CPAN module:
Call on the command line:
$ cpan
And on the CPAN shell do (after init if neccessary):
1.
cpan> install DBI
2.
cpan> install DBD::Pg
Thats it.
If you got problems with the latest DBD::Pg version, post the
output of the single calls 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make' of the
DBD::Pg build.
HTH,
Gerrit

For completeness....This cured the problem. Perl/Progress now working fine thanks to all, especially Gerrit, for help. Jim On Sun, 16 Jun 2002, Gerrit P.
