[cx-oracle-users] how to build cx_oracle statically

[<bd...@ad...>]

Hello list,

I still haven't succeeded in getting cx_oracle to
work on Itanium HP-UX. I thought perhaps it could be
build statically and directly linked to the python
interpreter? Is this possible or supported, and how
would one go about it ?

Thanks,

Bernard.

Apologies for the delay in responding. I just got back from holidays.
From your question I am assuming that you want to build a special
Python interpreter that has cx_Oracle built into it? Yes, that is
possible but I only know about it from reading about it, not from
actual experience.

Hi Anthony, no need to apologise; I hope you had nice, relaxing holidays!

I'm not convinced anymore building statically would help at all,
as I've since discovered (see my main HP-UX thread) that the
problems all seem related to one Oracle library (libnnz10)
not being able to resolve some symbols.

Anyone with an idea or HP-UX expertise, please chime in!
What is frustrating is that my choice of python for writing
this system that has worked well for the last 18 months,
might be questioned in retrospect. How I wish they had
chosen linux or Solaris instead of Hocus Pocus!

Bernard.

Yes, I did. Thanks.

Don't get me started on HP-UX. Of the Unix OSes that I have used
(HP-UX, Solaris, Tru64, Linux) HP has been the absolute worst. Linking
problems are frequent and unfortunately HP-UX has its own special way
of doing everything -- until recently even reading an ISO 9660
filesystem on a CD required a kernel patch! Ugh!

Good luck. You'll need it. :-)

so far I've managed to omit dependency on libnnz10.so
by linking against "static" version of libclnt (-lclntst10).
This involved editing cx_Oracle's setup.py to
remove "clntsh" from libs:

ilink@tunis:~/src/cx_Oracle-5.0.3 > grep libs setup.py 
    libs = ["oci"]
    libs = ["oci"]
    # libs = ["clntsh", "ttsh10"]
    libs = []
        libraries = libs,
ilink@tunis:~/src/cx_Oracle-5.0.3 > 

Another way is to add libttsh10, and you can see
it being commented out in the above grep output.
The ttsh10 seems to satisfy libnnz10's deps, and
comments in setup.py suggest doing so on HP-UX.
