| Subject: | Installation on Solaris SPARC with Firebird |
We are using DBD-Interbase 0.48 with Perl 5.10.1 (ActivePerl) and
Firebird 2.1 and 2.5 on Windows (XP, 7; 32 and 64 bit), Linux (32 and
64) and Solaris SPARC (32).
We have found that to get the same setup on Solaris as on Linux, it
works best if we modify the Makefile.PL to treat Solaris the same as
Linux. I.e., use the clause starting at line 465:
elsif (($os eq 'linux') || ($os eq 'freebsd'))
and change this to
elsif (($os eq 'linux') || ($os eq 'freebsd') || ($os eq 'solaris') ||
($os eq 'sunos'))
(and remove the preceding 'solaris' clause on line 461).
We use this with Firebird in /opt/firebird and with libfbclient.so. (So,
no gds.)
Make the Makefile.PL for Solaris more like Linux. Give the possibility
to use Firebird instead of Interbase.
