OS: Win 2000 Advanced Server
Perl: ActivePerl 5.8.3
DBI 1.42
DBD::Informix 2003.04
IDS 9.30
Client SDK 2.81
Compiler: Visual Studio .NET

Makefile is generated with no problems but when I run nmake i get this:

        INFORMIXC='E:\Sites\Perl\bin\perl.exe esqlld'

'INFORMIXC' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'INFORMIXC='E:\Sites\Perl\bin\perl.exe' : return
code
 '0x1'
Stop.

I read that INFORMIXC is an environment variable but it is set like this is
bash script.
My solution was to edit Makefile and change line 16 from
LD => q[INFORMIXC= to LD => q[set INFORMIXC=

and line 42 from LD = INFORMIXC= to LD = set INFORMIXC=

then it builds fine. I don't know where to edit Makefile.pl to generate the
right Makefile.
