Installation

Requirements:

  • Perl (Threaded and version 5.8.1 or higher)
  • Perl DBI (1.41 or higher)
  • Firebird (2.5.1 or higher)
  • A C compiler
    • UN*X GCC 4.x (tested, older may or may not work) or other capable clang

    • Windows

      • Strawberry perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) comes with it's own compiler (mingw)
      • or Microsoft Express VC++ 9 (2008) /10 (2010) /11
      • Cygwin
    • Freebsd

      • Threaded Perl is required (You have to re-install Perl from ports and you have to select the config option that says 'build a Perl with threads')

BEFORE BUILDING, TESTING AND INSTALLING this you will need to:

  • Build, test and install Perl 5 (at least 5.8.1). It is very important to TEST it and INSTALL it!

  • Build, test and install the DBI module (at least DBI 1.41). It is very important to TEST it and INSTALL it! On Debian/Ubuntu you can do a simple: sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-dev libdbi-perl

  • Remember to read the DBI README file if you installed it from source

  • Make sure that Firebird server is running (for testing telnet localhost 3050)

BUILDING: Win32/Win64 with Strawberry type 'dmake' from the console

Win32/Win64 with MS compiler: type 'nmake', not just 'make'

To Configure and build the DBD: perl Makefile.PL make

TESTING To run tests module Test::Exception is required on Debian/Ubuntu systems: sudo apt-get install libtest-exception-perl

Please, set at least DBI_PASS (or ISC_PASSWORD), before 'make test'. The default for DBI_USER is 'SYSDBA'.(masterkey password is given here as example only) ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey make test

INSTALLING: make install (if the tests look okay)
