| Subject: | Compiling - Win32 - .NET Framework SDK |
Perl Module: DBD-SQLite-0.24
Operating System: Windows XP SP1 (5.1.2600)
Perl Version: Perl 5.6.1 ActiveState build 630
Compiler: Microsoft .NET Framework SDK
Here is a problem I had compiling the module (and a workaround)...
D:\SQLite\DBD-SQLite-0.24>perl makefile.pl
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Using DBI 1.28 installed in V:/PERL/site/lib/auto/DBI
Writing Makefile for DBD::SQLite
D:\SQLite\DBD-SQLite-0.24>nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.00.9466

echo '#include <stdio.h>' >temp.c
The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'echo' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
I took a peek at the makefile and found that the error occurs in the section:
config.h:
echo '#include <stdio.h>' >temp.c
echo 'int main(){printf(' >>temp.c
echo '"#define SQLITE_PTR_SZ %d\n",sizeof(char*));' >>temp.c
echo 'exit(0);}' >>temp.c
$(CC) -o temp temp.c
./temp >config.h
rm -f temp.c temp
It appears that this is supposed to build a small executable that will create a config.h file with the system pointer size. For some reason, Microsoft's echo does not like the '<' and '>' characters. I'm not sure how to change the makefile.pl to fix this, so here is the workaround:
First, I removed the lines under the 'config.h:' section (leaving the 'config.h' line, of course). Then I created the config.h file with the following contents:
#define SQLITE_PTR_SZ 4
Since I have a 32-bit system, the pointers are 4 bytes long.
Then the build was successful. I'll spare you the output of the build, but will mention that there were a few warnings:
cl : Command line warning D4029 : optimization is not available in the standard edition compiler
cl : Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-O6'
The 'free' compiler that comes with the .NET Framework SDK does not to optimization (no surprise there).

I'm not sure what those warnings are about, but 'nmake test' showed that everything is ok!
