Compile with Oracle support

[Berend Veldkamp]

Hello list,

I have some problems compiling MapServer (4.6.1 on Linux) with support 
for Oracle. I have installed Oracle Instant Client 10g in the directory 
suggested by Oracle: /usr/lib/oracle/10g/client. The header files are 
located in /usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include.

Here's what I did:

export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/sdk/include

./configure --with-proj --without-pdf --with-gd=/usr --with-freetype 
--with-gdal --with-ogr --with-php=../php-4.3.11 --with-postgis 
--with-geos --with-wfs --with-wfsclient --with-wcs --with-wms 
--with-wmsclient --with-oraclespatial=/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client

make

After some time I get this error:
gcc -c -O2 -fPIC -Wall   -DIGNORE_MISSING_DATA  -DNEED_STRLCAT 
-DUSE_EPPL -DUSE_PROJ -DUSE_WMS_SVR -DUSE_WMS_LYR -DUSE_WFS_SVR 
-DUSE_WFS_LYR -DUSE_WCS_SVR  -DUSE_ORACLESPATIAL   -DUSE_GD_GIF 
-DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_GD_WBMP -DUSE_GD_FT 
-DGD_HAS_GDIMAGEGIFPTR -DGD_HAS_GETBITMAPFONTS    -DUSE_OGR -DUSE_GDAL 
-DUSE_GEOS -DUSE_ICONV    -DUSE_POSTGIS    -DUSE_ZLIB -I/usr/include 
     -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/pgsql/include 
-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/rdbms/demo 
-I/usr/lib/oracle/10g/client/rdbms/public -I/usr/local/include 
maporaclespatial.c -o maporaclespatial.o
maporaclespatial.c:129:17: oci.h: No such file or directory

It seems that the CPPFLAGS environment variable is not used at all, and 
instead two subdirectories (rdbms/demo and rdbms/public) of ORACLE_HOME 
are used. Both directories are non-existant.

Besides moving the Oracle installation, is there anything else I can do?

Thanks, Berend
