Bug 3440 – add USE switch for ORACLE support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roman Majer 2002-06-06 02:14:19 UTC]

Hallo,

We are using the oracle 8.1.7 on our server (now on gentoo).

We are using apache+php combination.
It would be nice to have USE option, for example Oci8, so
the php ebuild will know, that on the system is oracle installed.

The ebuild can do after some logic:

if USE = oci8 and env. variable ORACLE_HOME exists, so add
--with-oci8 flag to ./configure

This time I must patch ebuild of php for every upgrade...

This switch can be also used in other packages like
tomcat -> for adding the oracle JDBC driver
jboss
and so on...

Ryan, what's the effect of just putting that configure flag in by default?

I will try, but it will be my first patch in my live, so
be prepared for "not nice"...
