Re: [cx-oracle-users] xa.h missing

[Anthony T. <an...@co...>]

Simply including the file would be simpler I'd agree but are there any 
implications with respect to distributing code which is not my own? Is 
it enough to simply state that this section of code comes from xa.h and 
leave it at that or is something more elaborate required? I've left it 
alone since in general those who are missing these files have not 
installed all of the developer packages for Oracle -- Oracle makes this 
fairly easy to do, unfortunately. Any others have comments?
