Hi,
After writing a first version of a (GNU autoconf) `configure.in' script
for a Pro*C program, I'm wondering how I could do the following things
better:
- Currently I include Oracle's `env_precomp.mk' file in the Makefile
and use a lot of macros from this file in the Makefile target to link my
program, i.e., this rule looks like:
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJ) $(LIBS) $(SQLLIBS) $(STATICPROLDLIBS)
$(PROLLS) ...many more... -o $@
This works fine except that I need to change it with about every other
new Oracle installation and Unix system I come across because these
variables seem to change rather frequently. Is there a more general
approach to do this?
- The program should be able to output Oracle release information about
the version of Oracle it was compiled for, e.g., `Oracle7 Release
7.3.4'. Currently, configure takes this information from the ORACLE_HOME
environment variable, which I consider a hack. Is there a better way to
get this information without connecting to the database?
Thanks,
Andreas
