Re: [cx-oracle-users] RE: gcc296 error when building cx_Oracle

[Anthony T. <ant...@gm...>]

Yes. I can (and already have) made changes to this to use the compiler
directives __DATE__ and __TIME__ that are available in gcc and the
Microsoft compilers. I have no idea if there are any compilers that
don't support those directives. Any thoughts on that? As you've
noticed, the shells are too inconsistent to pass this on the command
line reliably.
