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?
