Re: Fwd: compilation of libdbi mysql driver on MSYS/MINGW

Hi Tom,

Tom Petersen <tomp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:

It is very well possible that the mysql driver code (or all drivers) requires
some porting to work with MinGW. But as I said before, I don't use that system
and I can't be of much help here. Let's hope that Ashish, our MinGW expert, can
eventually look into this.

No porting was required to compile libdbi and the mysql driver on Cygwin, as
this system nicely emulates a Unix-style environment. There is only some extra
work required to build the drivers as DLLs which explains the extra Makefiles.
But this is not related to your problem.

Markus
