Another problem is that the Oracle installation process assumes that,
for all platforms, the library is called oci i.e. the linker option
-loci is used. For Unix clients, the OCI library seems to be
libclnstsh.so, so I guess it should pass -lclnstsh. This highlights
the lack of testing on non-Windows platforms. If you'd like to help
get this working better, perhaps we can discuss off-list.
(I remain on the list in order to fill the archive with information,
others may need, too.)
I have now installed the OCI SDK
http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/10204/oracle-instantclient-devel-10.2.0.4-1.i386.rpm
and Cabal-1.4 in order to get Takusen from Darcs repository running. I
configure the package with -f oracle and the package gets compiled (and
emits several warnings from Haddock-2.0). (Btw. Takusen should be split
into several packages for all database backends because Cabal flags must
not influence the package interface.) But on installation Cabal complains
about missing /usr/oci directory. I assume that this must be the include
dir of OCI include files. For me this is
/usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.4/client/
I can add this path with
runhaskell Setup.hs configure
--extra-include-dirs=/usr/include/oracle/10.2.0.4/client
but I cannot replace /usr/oci. If I remove /usr/oci manually from
dist/installed-pkg-config then the path /usr/oci is again added by
runhaskell Setup.hs install .
I'm lost. Am I on the right track?
Once I will get Takusen running with OCI - how would I use it? Is there a
minimal example which connects to an Oracle database, performing a very
simple query?
