[cx-oracle-users] Some build problems of cx_Oracle 4.1 beta1 on Win32

[Harri P. <har...@tr...>]

Me again, with another set of problems:

With Visual C++ 6.0 it stumbles on Variable.c, which appears to have 
long long's in it, which Visual C++ 6.0 does not support.

Moving to VC 7.1:

With Visual C++ 7.1 I got further, but had some trouble as win32api 
was not installed in my vc7 environment (why is it needed?)

Hand tweaking setup.py around that got me a linker warning:

LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/s', and then it bailed 
out trying to link against oci.dll?

setup.py line:
 extraLinkArgs.append(os.path.join(oracleHome, "bin", "oci.dll"))

was at cause:

Changing that to:

 extraLinkArgs.append(os.path.join(oracleHome, "oci","msvc","lib", 
"oci.lib"))

made it to link.

 (Oracle 9.2 client, Python 2.3.4, VC++7.1)

I'll continue tomorrow...

Regards, 

Harri
