Compile tora with oracle

Posted on 4 January, 2007 by chmouel

After installing Oracle instant client, if you have them in /usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2, this is the command line i use :

./configure –with-instant-client=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2 –with-oracle-includes=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2/sdk/include –with-oracle-libraries=/usr/local/lib/instantclient_10_2 –with-oci-version=10G

Let me know ny email if you want the deb for ubuntu linux.

    Tora can run on your laptop and have the server somewhere else without any problems.

    Just make sure to have the TNS_ADMIN set to a directory which contains a proper tnsnames.ora and tora would get the connection detail from there.

    Let me know if you need more information.

    Hey, could you email me the .deb file that you created, please?

    It would save me from compiling it all :)
    I don’t understand why an oracle tool isn’t compiled with oracle support :/

    All of this recompiling is quite ok but …
    I have strange problem.
    I use Debian (etch) I’ve installed Oracle XP database on my laptop
    then I recompile TOra with:
    ./configure –prefix=/usr –with-oracle=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server \
    –with-oracle-libraries=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/lib \
    –with-oci-version=10G –without-rpath –disable-new-check –without-kde –enable-libsuffix=

    and when I start my TOra session from terminal every think is ok
    I have ORACLE provider and I can connect to the database
    but if I start TOra from the shortcut which is on my desktop this ORACLE provider gone and don’t know why ?? Could U or anyone tell me what i suppose to do to be able run Tora by shortcut not by terminal ?

    I could definitely use the ubuntu deb if you are willing to share it. I find it confusing that I have to build the tool to get it to support oracle, when it is supposed to be an oracle tool to begin with. And also having to install all the oracle client stuff as well. My office uses TOAD and Windows, and I am trying to show them that Linux is better, but things like this, me taking half a day and I still dont even have my basic tools set up, well, lets say that says Linux is not ready for prime time, especially since i have to reboot into MSwindows to get my database work done if I want to use anything other than an Xterm and sqlplus.
