Building OCI into a distributable package.

Is there a way to distribute the Oracle library files as shared libraries, but as a "package" that the user can install as part of the installation of my application? Thus far, I've been statically building

my binaries to include the Oracle libraries, but it seems like a waste of bandwidth and time to do this for every minor fix in my code. Since the Oracle files do not change, there should not be any need to repeatedly distribute a huge binary.

If I compile using shared libraries, the binary to my app is about 900KB. If I use static linking, it blows up to about 13MB.

Thanks a lot. Received on Tue Aug 17 1999 - 16:42:36 CEST
