DBD::Oracle::Troubleshooting::Cygwin - Tips and Hints to Troubleshoot DBD::Oracle on Cygwin
|
|
|
|
=head1 VERSION
|
|
|
|
version 1.80
|
|
|
|
=head1 General Info
|
|
|
|
Makefile.PL should find and make use of OCI include
|
|
files, but you have to build an import library for
|
|
OCI.DLL and put it somewhere in library search path.
|
|
one of the possible ways to do this is issuing command
|
|
|
|
dlltool --input-def oci.def --output-lib liboci.a
|
|
|
|
in the directory where you unpacked DBD::Oracle distribution
|
|
archive. this will create import library for Oracle 8.0.4.
|
|
|
|
Note: make clean removes '*.a' files, so put a copy in a safe place.
|

=head1 Compiling DBD::Oracle using the Oracle Instant Client, Cygwin Perl and gcc

=item 1
|
|
|
|
Download these two packages from Oracle's Instant Client for
|
|
Windows site
|
|
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winsoft.html):
|
|
|
|
Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI,
|
|
OCCI, and JDBC-OCI applications
|
|
|
|
Instant Client Package - SDK: Additional header files and an
|
|
example makefile for developing Oracle applications with Instant Client
|
|
|
|
(I usually just use the latest version of the client)
|
|
|
|
=item 2
|
|
|
|
Unpack both into C:\oracle\instantclient_11_1
|
|
|
|
=item 3
|
|
|
|
Download and unpack DBD::Oracle from CPAN to some place with no
|
|
spaces in the path (I used /tmp/DBD-Oracle) and cd to it.
|
|
|
|
=item 4
|
|
|
|
Set up some environment variables (it didn't work until I got the
|
|
DSN right):
|
|
|
|
ORACLE_DSN=DBI:Oracle:host=oraclehost;sid=oracledb1
|
|
ORACLE_USERID=username/password
|
|
|
|
=item 5
|
|
|
|
perl Makefile.PL
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
Note, the TNS Names stuff doesn't always seem to work with the instant
|
|
client so Perl scripts need to explicitly use host/sid in the DSN, like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:host=oraclehost;sid=oracledb1',
|
|
'username', 'password');
