Linux build fails with RC2:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/src/DBD-Oracle-1.17 $ perl Makefile.PL
Using DBI 1.50 (for perl 5.008007 on i686-linux) installed in
/home/andyh/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/auto/DBI/
Configuring DBD::Oracle for perl 5.008007 on linux (i686-linux)
Remember to actually *READ* the README file! Especially if you have any
problems.
Using Oracle in /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
DEFINE _SQLPLUS_RELEASE = "1002000100" (CHAR)
Oracle version 10.2.0.1 (10.2)
Looks like Oracle XE
(/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk)
Unable to read /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk: No
such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 1264.
I get this regardless of which Oracle home I actually have in ORACLE_HOME
and PATH.
I think the following change made in r2377 is the culprit:
# default to using XE .mk file if one exists
-if (-s "$OH/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk" && !$::opt_m) {
-$::opt_m = "$OH/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk";
-warn "Looks like an Oracle XE, so we'll use $::opt_m\n";
-}
+$::opt_m ||= "$OH/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk";
This ends up setting $::opt_m to an XE makefile even if it doesn't exist, so
it goes into the XE-specific branch below, and so never ends up calling
find_mkfile() in the generic "else" branch.
Should the change above be reverted?
Or might it be better to call find_mkfile() earlier instead, to give
$::opt_m a value (since the XE makefile is now in the list searched in
find_mkfile)?
Reverting the changed lines above works for me, but I don't have XE
installed on Linux at the moment; I've only got that installed on Windows. I
suspect if I install XE on Linux then it'll cause problems as it'll pick up
the XE makefile, but use a non-XE home?
I'm trying to install XE on Linux now, but have run into some complications.
If I can get it installed I'll post back with some results on how it
interacts with the code above.
The good news is that 24implicit_utf8 appears to be passing where previously
it failed, i.e. with:
Database 10.2.0.1.0 CHAR set is WE8ISO8859P15 (Non-Unicode), NCHAR set is
AL16UTF16 (Unicode)
Client 10.2.0.1 NLS_LANG is '.UTF8', NLS_NCHAR is ''
... at least from Linux 10gR2/full client (after fixing the Makefile.PL to
get it to build). I'll run the other combinations again when I get a chance.
