Berkeley Database (Perl Module)

The Perl module from the BerkleyDB distribution

AMaViS wants to use the BerkleyDB Perl module (part of the SleepyCat db-*) distribution. Sun pre-compile a version of db-* for us in /opt/sfw but don't compile the Perl module.

To complicate matters, you will (probably) need a more recent version of db-* than the Sun installed one (look in /opt/sfw/include/db.h for Sun's version).

Note

You must configure the build to get the header files before you can compile the BerkeleyDB module.

cd .../db-4.3.29

cd build_unix
../dist/configure

cd ../perl/BerkeleyDB

Note

Edit config.in to point at /opt/sfw/{include,lib}

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you really want to build Berkeley DB then:

../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/db-4.3.29
make
make install

cd ../perl/BerkeleyDB
cp config.in config.in.0
sed -e 's/BerkeleyDB/db-4.3.29/' -e '/^#DBNAME/s/.*/DBNAME = -ldb-4.3/' config.in.0 config.in
BERKELEYDB_LIB="/usr/local/db-4.6.21/lib -R/usr/local/db-4.6.21/lib" perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Note

Check you're using your version of libdb with

ldd ./blib/arch/auto/BerkeleyDB/BerkeleyDB.so
