perl mysql module installed fail on Windows - mysql

Question

I'm trying to install mysql using:
cpanm DBD::mysql
I got output error like this: Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
--> Working on DBD::mysql
Fetching http: //www.cpan.org/authors/id/C/CA/CAPTTOFU/DBD-mysql-4.025.tar.gz ... OK

When I opened the log file to check the detail, it's as bellows. Is there anyone help me out:

Unknown option: testdb
Unknown option: testhost
Unknown option: testuser
PLEASE NOTE:
For 'make test' to run properly, you must ensure that the
database user '' can connect to your MySQL server
and has the proper privileges that these tests require such
as 'drop table', 'create table', 'drop procedure', 'create procedure'
as well as others.
mysql> grant all privileges on test.* to ''#'localhost' identified by 's3kr1t';
You can also optionally set the user to run 'make test' with:
perl Makefile.PL --testuser=username
Unknown option: testpassword
Unknown option: testsocket
Unknown option: testport
Unknown option: nocatchstderr
Unknown option: ssl
Unknown option: nofoundrows
Unknown option: force-embedded
I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
cflags (mysql_config) = -I"C:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.1\include"
embedded (mysql_config) =
ldflags (mysql_config) =
libs (mysql_config) = -LC:\PROGRA~1\MySQL\MYSQLS~1.1\lib\opt -lmysqlclient -lzlib
mysql_config (guessed ) = mysql_config
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testport (default ) =
testsocket (default ) =
testuser (guessed ) =
To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc DBD::mysql::INSTALL'.

Answer 1

These are the two important lines.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lzlib
You need to install the mysqlclient (and also zlib) on your system.
