ruby-oci8 build fails

rubyonrails-talk
#1

I'm trying to build the ruby-oci8 with the Oracle Instant Client on OS
X. The Instant Client works, and the make seems to be ok with it up
until OCIInitialize(). Anybody got this to work?

[relevant output]
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby /
Users/dmholmes/Desktop/ruby-oci8-1.0.0-rc2/ext/oci8/extconf.rb
checking for load library path... (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH)... /opt/oracle/
instantclient10_1/libclntsh.dylib.10.1 looks like an instant client.
checking for cc... ok
checking for gcc... yes
checking for LP64... no
checking for ruby header... ok
checking for OCIInitialize() in oci.h... no

#2

Fixed, here is what I did.

First, in mkmf.log I had:
ld: warning in /opt/oracle/instantclient10_1/libclntsh.dylib, file is
not of required architecture
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:

I'm running Leopard on a G5, so something picked up the architecture
wrong. Above that I see GCC being called with "-arch ppc -arch i386".
I found where that was being supplied in the Makefile and removed it
(after setup.rb.config but before setup.rb setup).

#3

i'm not sure, but you could have do the same by using variable ARCHFLAGS="-arch ppc"

#4

In regards to this: has anyone heard anything new about an Intel build
of instant client for Oracle in the works or better yet a universal
binary?
