Mapserver binaries for Oracle10g

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

Mapserv.exe is small since it depends on libmap.dll now. I.e. most of 
the application code is now in a dll and not in the executable itself.

How to enable Oracle is explained in the MS4W readme file, excerpt 
pasted here:

Steps to Enable Oracle 10g Support in MS4W
******************************************

1. Make sure you have Oracle 10g client software installed on your 
machine (the
   same machine that you are running MS4W on).

2. Download libmap.dll for Oracle 10g from 
http://hobu.stat.iastate.edu/mapserver/build_output/4_8_3

3. Replace the existing libmap.dll in /ms4w/Apache/cgi-bin/ with the 
downloaded one.

4. Move the ogr_OCI.dll plugin file up one level from 
/ms4w/gdalplugins/ignored/ into
   /ms4w/gdalplugins/
  
5. Restart Apache to be safe.

6. For mapfile configuration see 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/oracle_spatial_howto

Best regards,
Bart
