This directory contains the source code and makefiles
for building the LINTER DBD driver for the DBI PERL interface.

To build the driver:
1) Execute the ./configure command from the LINTER distribution directory.
This command is used to find out whether DBI is installed in the system, and
to configure the LINTER distribution for building the driver. If the
distribution has already been configured, there is no need to repeat the
procedure.
2) Go to the perl-dbi directory of the LINTER distribution.
3) Execute the 'make' command.

After building the driver, the DBD directory and the files Linter.pm and
DBD/Linter.so will be created in the bin directory of the distribution.

Attention! It is assumed that PERL and the DBI interface are already
installed in the system.

To be able to use the DBD driver, add the distribution's bin directory path
to the PERL5LIB environment variable, or copy the Linter.so file and the DBD
directory containing the Linter.pm file to one of the PERL library
directories(to obtain the complete list of PERL library directories,
execute the 'perl -V' command). Another way to install this driver is to
execute command 'make install' or 'make plinstall'.

To make sure that the interface is working properly, you can execute a
sample from the samples/dbi directory of the LINTER distribution.

An alternative method for driver building and installation:
1. Run the configure script inside the Linter distribution. You only need
to configure a compiler and may skip the perl interface configuration.
2. Go to the perl-dbi directory of the Linter distribution.
3. Set the environment variable LINTER_HOME to point to the Linter 
distribution directory.
4. Do 'perl Makefile.PL'.
5. Do 'make -f Makefile'.
6. Do 'make -f Makefile install' as a root.
Now PERL is ready to work with Linter via the DBI interface.
