<p>My counsel is build to one of the supported platforms (Debian or
[a]Ubuntu), not derivatives. This can be done easily in a virtual
machine. <br>
</p>
There are some xenial-specific issues in general which are not there
if using a later release. <br>
<br>
None of these comments may be relevant to your particular situation.
What is most relevant is that only a small number of distros are
supported and Debian/Ubuntu are the most supported. <br>

<div>Hello everyone.<br>
<br>
</div>
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 (<a
href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/255565/building-qgis-2-18-12-on-linux-mint-18-2-sonya-with-oracle-provider"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/255565/building-qgis-2-18-12-on-linux-mint-18-2-sonya-with-oracle-provider</a>),
with no answers so far, so I'll provide the most essential
details here, unless told otherwise.</div>

<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried to follow the instructions in <a
href="https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc11"
rel="nofollow noreferrer" moz-do-not-send="true">https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS/master/doc/INSTALL.html#toc11</a>
, 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since this official guide doesn't mention Oracle at all (as
if nobody uses it!), I searched and tried to use a process
like <a
href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2014-August/034230.html"
rel="nofollow noreferrer" moz-do-not-send="true">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2014-August/034230.html</a>.
My command was:<br>
</div>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><code>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 ..
</code></span></pre>
</div>
<div>
<pre><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace"><code>make -j</code>8 </span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
It failed (my 1st attempt in compiling, too).</span></pre>
</div>
<div>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: <br>
<div>
<pre><code>ccmake -DWITH_QWTPOLAR=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/ME/apps/qgis/master ..</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<pre><code>make -j</code>8</pre>
</div>
</div>
