  export DB2_VERSION=V9.1

If you're not on Linux, Solaris or AIX (or if you've installed DB2 in
a different location than the Makefile.PL file expects), you also have
to specify the path where the DB2 files can be found, for example:

  export DB2_PREFIX=/opt/IBM/db2/V9.1

The common environment variables DBAPTH, DB2DIR and DB2_HOME can be
used as well.

Please report the default prefix for platforms that the author doesn't
have access to (i.e. not Linux, Solaris), so the module can support
them in the future.

Then do:

  perl Makefile.PL
  make

The test step requires you to create a SAMPLE database with a set of
tables used for the export, import and load tests.  The supplied
"create_test_db" script will create the SAMPLE database using the
IBM-supplied "db2sampl" utility and create some additional tables.
Make sure you have sourced the DB2 environment before running the
script.

  create_test_db
  make test

You can run the tests against any other database you want, but please
make sure you update the CONFIG file before running the test script.

Once the test completes, you can install the module with:

  make install

=head1 INSTALLATION - WINDOWS

Mike O'Reilly conttibuted the following notes to build the DB2::Admin
module on Windows.

The ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 for x64 is available for download built
with Microsoft Visual C v6 with the freely available compiler in the
"Microsoft Windows 2003 Server SP1 Platform SDK".  It is necessary to
use the same compiler to build any Perl modules that use the C
language. For VS2005 and VS3008 modules do not bind against MSVCRT.DLL
(but instead use MSVCR90.DLL or MSVCR71.DLL etc). 

The filename (on FTP search) that contains the correct compiler is
"5.2.3790.2075.51.PlatformSDK_Svr2003R2_rtm.img" (aka PSDK). It may
not be available on Microsoft websites, but is available elsewhere. It
is not possible to build modules with Visual-Studio-2005 or
Visual-Studio-2008 and get them to work with the pre-built ActiveState
Per 5.8.x (unless you also rebuild perl itself from sources with the
same toolkit, something I did not attempt).

When DB2 is up and running (install as 'Administrator', then add
target users to the DB2ADMNS or DB2USERS groups as appropriate), it is
necessary to open a DB2CMD window , execute the PSDK "setenv /XP64
/X64 /RETAIL" in that window, and perform the build in that
window. Then I ran the following sequence of steps.

  set DB2_VERSION=V9.5
  perl parse_constants.pl
  build/test/install Pod::Simple
  build/test/install Pod::Escapes
  build/test/install Test::Pod
  modify CONFIG appropriately
  perl create_test_db
  perl makefile.pl
  nmake
  nmake test
