Problem with compiling DBD::Informix

Hello, I have a problem compile DBD::Informix. Here is the error: Informix.xsi: In function `XS_DBD__Informix__dr_data_sources': Informix.xsi:56: parse error before `*' Informix.xsi:58: `av' undeclared (first use in this function) Informix.xsi:58: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Informix.xsi:58: for each function it appears in.) Informix.xsi:58: `imp_drh' undeclared (first use in this function) I found that in the Change of DBD-Informix-2003.03.0400 stand that there was a fix which cause this error but i it still there. I found that the File Informix.xsi is generated with: /usr/bin/perl -p -e "s/~DRIVER~/Informix/g" < /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i586-linux/auto/DBI/Driver.xst > Informix.xsi so i must delete the function data_sources in this Informix.xsi manualy and then it compiles.

That one is supposed to be fixed, as you noted below. Please provide me with copies of the files Informix.xs, Informix.xsi and Informix.c (gzipped tar file, or just plain old attachments). Please also confirm that you are using DBI 1.34. And please also ensure that you really, really are using DBD::Informix 2003.03.0401. The version I downloaded from CPAN does not have a data_sources function in Informix.xs. I recommend a 'make distclean' followed by 'perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install'. In general, please also note that bug reporting procedure documented in the README file -- I've no objection to collecting bugs via rt.cpan.org, but I do need the information that is documented in the README file and automatically provided by the BugReport or InformixTechSupport scripts. Note that there is now a DBD::Informix 2003.04 available on CPAN. It is an administrative release - purely changing version numbers. Show quoted text

Good. Show quoted text

That's not the really interesting bit - I want to see the output of 'perl Makefile.PL'. I also cannot find the Informix.xs, Informix.xsi and Informix.c files as attachments at the rt.cpan.org site - which is likely to be a problem with that site rather than anything else. Please send them to me direct - by regular email - to jleffler@earthlink.net AND jleffler@us.ibm.com. They are collectively critical to understanding the problem. While you are at it, please include the Driver.xst file too. Show quoted text

This creates Informix.xsi. Show quoted text

This takes Informix.xsi, Informix.xs and some other bits and creates Informix.c Show quoted text

You have upgraded to 2003.04, uploaded earlier today, which completely confuses me (at one level), and reassures us at another - the problem is sysematic. It may take a while to work out what is up; I may even have to go and build a Perl 5.6.0 to see whether I can get it to reproduce (I've got 5.005_03, 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 pre-built). Show quoted text

I wasn't even aware of rt.cpan.org until your message arrived. However, the information I need to debug problems is clearly stated (it includes the output of 'perl Makefile.PL' for example), and it simplifies my life because I don't have to do as much of the pestering like this as I'm having to do. Please send the Informix.c, Informix.xs, Informix.xsi and Driver.xst files directly to me at the email addresses jleffler@earthlink.net and jleffler@us.ibm.com so I get to see them.

[...incomplete message accidentally sent...] The code in Driver.xst (provided by DBI v1.34) for the data_sources() method is faulty in that it will not compile with C compilers that do not support declarations interleaved with statements, as in: int function(void) { int i; i = 3; int j = i + 1; /* Problem */ return(j); } A patch for Driver.xst from DBI 1.34 has been sent to Tim Bunce, and posted to those who have explicitly run into this problem, and also sent to dbi-users@perl.org. Fundamentally, it puts an extra open brace immediately after the PPCODE: directive (before the declaration D_imp_drh(drh);) and an extra close brace at the end of the function body. The patch also annotates this and indents the code properly. -- Jonathan Leffler <jleffler@earthlink.net> <jleffler@us.ibm.com> Guardian of DBD::Informix 2003.04 -- see http://dbi.perl.org/ "I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it!"
