[cx-oracle-users] cx_Oracle install under cygwin

[Miten M. <ind...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am unable to get python setup.py build to function correctly under cygwin.

$ python setup.py build
running build
running build_ext
building 'cx_Oracle' extension
creating build/temp.cygwin-1.7.27-i686-2.7-11g
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -ggdb -O2 -pipe

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I am using /cygdrive/d/software/pythonlibs/cx_Oracle-5.1
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/cygdrive/d/software/oracle/instantclient_11_2


$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/cygdrive/d/software/oracle/instantclient_11_2


My python is:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Dec 18 2012, 13:50:09)
[GCC 4.5.3] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
dlopen("/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/readline.dll", 2);
import readline # dynamically loaded from
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/readline.dll


Regards,

Miten.

I am not sure how to fix the error.  why do I see those /usr/src/debug and
/home/jt/rel which are non-existent in my file system.
