Hello,
I am using perl version 5.10. I couldn't get dbd-mysql using ppm Gui.
That's why I am trying to compile it for the last 2 days.

I am trying to compile it with nmake. I played around the quotes for the
program files/mysql, but I keep on getting the following:
c:\dev\dbd-mysql-4.010\dbdimp.h(22) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include
fil
e: 'mysql.h': No such file or directory
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

Stop.

Do you have the MySQL libraries (.dll files) and header files installed?

If not, you can pick them up at [1] below. The "Without Installer"
zipfile is usually the easiest to manage as far as being able to put
it someplace that's easy to get to.

If you do not have a hard requirement to use ActiveState, you could
try my Perl distribution, Camelbox. It already comes with
DBI/DBD::mysql out of the box. Homepage is at [2] below. If you do
have a hard requirement to use ActiveState, most likely you will have
to tweak the Makefile with the location of the MySQL client .dll file
to get DBD::mysql to compile on Windows.

Thanks,

Brian
