Bugzilla Bug 82550

It seems that there is a problem with the configure script for tora.
I modified the tora ebuild and created a patch for it.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set use flag Oracle
2. emerge tora

Actual Results:  
Failed to find compatible GCC compiler. This doesn't necessary mean that
there are no c++ compiler that won't work. This test includes compiling
a Qt application using Oracle. So if anything went wrong finding these
this test will fail.

The command tried was the following ($CC is replaced with whatever C
compiler used):

$CC "-L/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib" "-L/usr/qt/3/lib" -Xlinker
"--rpath=/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/lib" -Xlinker "--rpath=/usr/qt/3/lib" 
-I`pwd` "-I/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/rdbms/demo"
"-I/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/plsql/public"
"-I/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/rdbms/public"
"-I/usr/lib/oracle/10.1.0.2/client/network/public" "-I/usr/qt/3/include" -lm
-lpthread -lcrypt -ldl  -lqt-mt  -lclntsh -otemp /tmp/toraconfig.17418.cpp

Do you not have a full Oracle installation?  I don't believe TOra is supported
with just the instantclient installation.

At least it seems that the users in the forums can use it.
And in the sourceforge.net tora forums there are people who made TOra only work with it.
Take a look at the thread at :
http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2708940
People there could make TOra work with only the instant client...

I have a full oracle install and tora fails with the same error.

did you tried with my ebuild?

I have reported your patch upstream and they have accepted it, and even given
you credit the "About" dialog.  However I'm still waiting for comment from some
others in the community to make sure that is the way to go.  I'll test on my
box today (full 9.2.0.4 client).

FWIW, I'm pretty sure no one has validated TOra against 10g.

tora-1.3.15-r1 committed to portage.

thank you.
