    Once you can do that then you can test DBD::DBMaker knowing that it
    should work.

	make test
	make test TEST_VERBOSE=1   (if any of the t/* tests fail)

	make install 		   (if the tests look okay)

    TEST NOTES:
	1. Most of the test scripts use a common subroutine (in
	   t/tests.pm) to obtain information about the database 
	   connection. To start the tests _without_ running 'make', you 
	   may either imitate the way a 'make test' calls t/*.t (e.g. 
	   perl t/02base.t) or modify the scripts so that testenv() 
	   is not longer used or within the scripts.
	2. The tests aren't self contained; instead, they rely on the
	   existance of tables created while running t/02base.t.
	   Because these test tables are removed by t/99drop.t,
	   they must be recreated by running t/02base.t before
	   trying one of the later test scripts.

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS:

Do not hand edit the generated Makefile unless you are completely sure you
understand the implications! Always try to make changes via the Makefile.PL
command line and/or editing the Makefile.PL.

You should not need to make any changes. If you do *please* let me know so
that I can try to make it automatic in a later release.

Please don't post problems to comp.lang.perl.misc or perl5-porters. This
software is supported via the dbi-users mailing list.  For more information
and to keep informed about progress you can join the a mailing list via
http://www.fugue.com/dbi (if you are unable to use the web you can subscribe
by sending a message to dbi-request@fugue.com, it may take a few days to be
processed).

Please post details of any problems (or changes you needed to make) to
dbi-users@fugue.com and CC them to me at dbmaker@lion.syscom.com.tw.

** IT IS IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

1. A complete log of a all steps of the build, e.g.:

	perl Makefile.PL           (do a make realclean first)
	make
	make test
	make test TEST_VERBOSE=1   (if any tests fail)

2. Full details of which software you are using:

	* Version of the operating system 
	   (on Linux: Kernel and library versions)
	* DBMaker versions (of server and development system)
	* Perl version (the output of perl -V)

It is important to check that you are using the latest version before
posting. If you're not then I'm *very* likely to simply say "upgrade to
the latest". You would do yourself a favour by upgrading beforehand.

Please remember that I'm _very_ busy. Try to help yourself first,
then try to help me help you by following these guidelines carefully.

OPERATING SYSTEM NOTES:

It's quite possible that Makefile.PL misses something for the
special system/perl/dbmaker version combination you use. The
most common problems are:

Linker problems:
 (1) The linker barfs at you, saying something about 'unresolved
     symbols'. 
       Try to compile and link the examples coming with the
       client library from DBMaker.
       When you can't manage to build DBMaker's examples, DBMaker tech 
       support should be able to help you.
       When DBMaker's examples are working fine, you may try to
       modify Makefile.pl, adding the libraries/switches/defines
       you found while building the examples.

 (2) Perl's Dynloader tells you it "Can't load .../DBMaker.so", 
     followed [possible] by messages about unresolved symbols 
     called 'SQLAllocEnv' and other 'SQLxxxx' symbols.
       This is also a linker problem. You may try to build a
       static perl binary; if this also fails, try (1).

In general, you may try to use another version of the DBMaker
client library.
