Installing DBD-Oracle on Windows

[svar]

My first experience with Oracle8 and this had to be installed on an NT machine.
I installed actiivestate DBI, activestate oracle is broken
so I did it by hand folloing the instructions in

http://search.cpan.org/src/PYTHIAN/DBD-Oracle-1.18a/README.win32.txt

up until the step with nmake. There I get:



cl -c -ID:/Oracle/Ora81/oci/include -ID:/Oracle/Ora81/rdbms/demo
-IC:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBI -nologo -Gf -W3 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32
-D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DNO_HASH_SEED -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE
-DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX
-MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DVERSION=\"1.19\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.19\"
"-IC:\Perl\lib\CORE" -DUTF8_SUPPORT -DORA_OCI_VERSION=\"8.1.6.0\" Oracle.c
Oracle.c
c1 : warning C4349: /Gf is deprecated and will not be supported in future
versions of Visual C++; remove /Gf or use /GF instead
C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h(382) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'sys/types.h': No such file or directory

There are in fact several sys/types.h subdirectories and
I put all of them in the path
for example
if
sys\types.h is in D:\MSVISUALC\include
then PATH has D:\MSVISUALC\include

Anyone been there before?

svar,

this seems to be more of a PERL question than Oracle. Have you asked the gurus over in the PERL forum?

P.S. - let me guess, they said it's an oracle problem, and to ask here
