*** *BEFORE* BUILDING, TESTING AND INSTALLING this you will need to: Build, test and install Perl 5 (Preferrably 5.006_00 or later) It is very important to TEST it and INSTALL it! Build, test and install the DBI module (at least DBI 1.21). It is very important to TEST it and INSTALL it! Remember to *read* the DBI README file and this one CAREFULLY! Ensure the following DB2 product is installed. DB2 Application Development Client v7.2 or later Included with the DB2 Personal Developer's Edition and the DB2 Universal Developer's Edition The Application Development Client can be downloaded here: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/ GIT REPO: https://github.com/ibmdb/perl_DBD-DB2 *** BUILDING: On UNIX: export DB2_HOME=/clidriver export PERL5LIB=~/lib/perl5/lib/perl5/site_perl:$HOME/DBD-DB2-1.89/tests:$HOME/DBD-DB2-1.89/Constants perl Makefile.PL # use a perl that's in your PATH make make test make install (if the tests look okay) NOTE: For non root installation specify the installation into ~/lib/perl5 instead for non-root installation: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/lib/perl5 make make test make install On Windows: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install *** BUILDING on AIX(tested on 1.86) Installation instruction for DBD::DB2 on AIX, with Perl 5.28.1: NOTE: I started with perl.rte 5.28.1.2 which was in 7200 TL4 SP2. I am using xlccmp.13.1.3 compiler. 1) UNPACK REQUIRED FILES Unpacked the following to /tmp/perl v10.5fp11_aix64_odbc_cli_32.tar DBI DBI-1.643.tar DBD-DB2-1.86.tar 2) BUILD AND INSTALL DBI: # cd /tmp/perl/DBI-1.643 # perl Makefile.PL # make This is OK, but: # make test fails. Can't locate Test2/Util/ExternalMeta.pm in @INC *** ExternalMeta.pm was created as a directory instead of a file, this issue is fixed in perl.rte 5.28.1.3 I updated perl.rte to perl.rte 5.28.1.3 and tried again: # perl Makefile.PL <...> Generating a Unix-style Makefile Writing Makefile for DBI Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json # make <...> Running Mkbootstrap for DBI () chmod 644 "DBI.bs" "/usr/bin/perl" -MExtUtils::Command::MM -e 'cp_nonempty' -- DBI.bs blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.bs 644 xlc_r -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=-1 -qnoansialias -qlanglvl=extc99 -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -O -DVERSION=\"1.643\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.643\" "-I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.28.1/aix-thread-multi/CORE" DBI.c "/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.28.1/aix-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h", line 4401.15: 1506-963 (W) The attribute "deprecated" is not a valid variable attribute and is ignored. rm -f blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so ld -bhalt:4 -G -bI:/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.28.1/aix-thread-multi/CORE/perl.exp -bnoentry -lpthreads -lc -lm -bE:DBI.exp DBI.o -o blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so chmod 755 blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.so "/usr/bin/perl" "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" dbilogstrip.PL dbilogstrip Extracted dbilogstrip from dbilogstrip.PL with variable substitutions.

If you dont have trusted users set specifically, then you may leave this section as is and the testcase for the trusted context would fail. This is an expected behavior. The details for fakeport etc can be left untouched.
