Hello everyone. This is my 1st post and I am not sure if it should be short or more detailed. I have posted a question to Stackexchange ( https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/255565/building-qgis-2-18-12-on-linux-mint-18-2-sonya-with-oracle-provider), with no answers so far, so I'll provide the most essential details here, unless told otherwise.
I was trying to build QGIS on Linux Mint 18.2 (Sonya), in order to have the Oracle provider - my setup is at the end of this message. I tried to follow the instructions in https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc11 , specifically 3.1 - 3.7 (3.8 seems to be a separate process, which I also tried and failed) - in 3.3 I used the build dependencies for xenial. Since this official guide doesn't mention Oracle at all (as if nobody uses it!), I searched and tried to use a process like https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2014-August/034230.html. My command was: ccmake -DWITH_QWTPOLAR=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ME/apps/qgis/master -DWITH_ORACLE=TRUE -DOCI_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/ME/instantclient_12_2/sdk/include -DOCI_LIBRARY=/home/ME/instantclient_12_2/libclntsh.so.12.1 .. make -j8 It failed (my 1st attempt in compiling, too). Before going around asking questions, I thought it prudent to assure the basics, so I tried to build the 'vanilla way', i.e. from the source as I download it, without Oracle, without any changes in the process. I made LD_LIBRARY_PATH null and issued: ccmake -DWITH_QWTPOLAR=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ME/apps/qgis/master .. make -j8 After about 15', I got: ...

My last hope is to all you out there.
