[Qgis-user] Building QGIS >= 2.18.12 on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya - with Oracle provider?

Tue Sep 19 05:04:52 PDT 2017

Hi Greg,

Not sure what exactly is going wrong when it freezes.

But since it happens at 99% it's possible that all the important parts
are already there and you are already able to start QGIS. Go to the
build directory and type

  ./output/bin/qgis

It's possible that this just works.

Good luck,
Matthias
