Hi,

when compiling the DBD::mysql driver with Visual C++ 6, I receive the following linker error:

mysqlclient.lib(password.obj) : error LNK2001: Unknown external Symbol __ftol2

According to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/vcrefQIfistSuppress_ftol.asp

the problem can be disabled by using the compiler switch /QIfist. I do not know, whether this will have any side effects on the client library. If so, could we find a workaround? If not, could the switch be used when compiling the client library? I hope, that Visual C++ will not be a "must" from now on.

Regards,

Jochen
