Bug #102079 for DBD-mysql: DBD-mysql-4.029 Module fails to install on Windows 8.1 (64)

       Queue: DBD-mysql
 Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=102079 >

In all candor Michael, we don't clearly remember the details of installing MySql on this computer.  Judging by the logs (which we're glad to share) there's a good possibility that mySQL is not fully installed on this computer.

The installation of both Windows 8.1 (64) and mySQL is about 6 months old.  I have no qualms about blowing MySQL out and reinstalling it if that is at all useful to you.

The Strawberry Perl installation seems solid.  Being a refugee from Active State, I've (Win) written a number of scripts to do some housekeeping and the like and been singularly impressed with how solid Strawberry Perl has been on this computer.

Aza Oberman and I have a CentOS application that uses MySQL (https://dogdonor.com/) and would like to model it on this Windows machine when fine-tuning while the lawyers wrangle over the hold-harmless agreements necessary to release the site  -- so it's in our own best interest to support you in any way we can.

Alas the windows 2K machine used to develop DogDonor bit the dust about 9 months ago.

What would you like us to do to help get you useful information?

Regards

Win Wiencke

Hi, how did you install the MySQL database?

I'm currently working on making Windows better for DBD::mysql https://huntingbears.nl/2015/01/31/installing-dbdmysql-on-strawberry-perl-is-really-easy/

The current version from git already handles path OK:
https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-mysql

but I'm not sure about building against MySQL Server. If you can help by providing back info, maybe we can fix it!!
