Publisher review:DBD_SQLFLEX module allows you to access Sqlflex databases. The database must reside on a LOCAL (NOT NFS) disk. If you need remote access to a database, please see the Infoflex documentation for setting up a remote database server.
Please ensure that you have $DBTEMP and $DBPATH set up in your environment. What is good for xsql is good for DBD::Sqlflex -- if you can't run xsql against a database, you'll never get DBD::Sqlflex working.
BUILDING DBD::Sqlflex
With the Sqlflex software from Infoflex, you should find instructions on setting the SQLDIR environment variable to use their esqlpp and sqlcc commands. Follow these instructions prior to building DBD::Sqlflex.
Makefile.PL will attempt to connect to a database, by default the STORES database, which you should create using xsql. You do not need any tables created within the database. You may alternatively override the test database, using the DBD_SQLFLEX_DATABASE variable. Note that this variable only has significance when running the DBD::Sqlflex tests. It is not used by DBD::Sqlflex or Sqlflex itself.
When Perl, DBI and ESQL/C are all installed do, and with the $SQLDIR variable set to point to your Sqlflex installation:
perl Makefile.PL
The script will attempt to work out what it needs to build the module. Then do:
make
This should complete without errors, and ideally without warnings either. If you get warnings, I'm interested to know what they are and how they could be fixed generically. If it fails horribly, see below.
Do NOT hand edit the generated Makefile unless you are completely sure you understand the implications (and are willing to make those changes manually every time the Makefile is regenerated)! Always try to make changes by editing Makefile.PL, which is extensively annotated. You should also read the section on ExtUtils::MakeMaker in the 2nd Edition of 'Programming Perl'.
You should never need to make any changes to the generated Makefile, nor to Makefile.PL. If you do *please* let me know so that I can try to make it automatic in a later release.
