DBD::Oracle Install Fails on Gentoo Linux

Installing DBD::Oracle on Gentoo Linux fails with the following error:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option '-wchar-stdc++'
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option '-cxxlib-gcc'
cc1: error: /ee/dev/bastring.h: No such file or directory

I tracked this down to the Oracle XE install problem. Makefile.PL is reading
$OH/rdbms/demo/demo_xe.mk which has these paragraphs at the end:

ifdef BUILD_CCC296
CC=/usr/bin/g++296
CCFLAGS = -include /ee/dev/bastring.h
$(CCINCLUDES) -wchar-stdc++ -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -g
endif

ifdef BUILD_ICC
COMPDIR=/usr/local/remote/packages/icc_remote/8.1-022
CC=$(COMPDIR)/bin/icpc
CCFLAGS += -DOCCI_NO_WSTRING=1 -cxxlib-gcc
endif

This creates a CCFLAGS value of

'-include /ee/dev/bastring.h -I../ -wchar-stdc++ -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -g -DOCCI_NO_WSTRING=1 -cxxlib-gcc';

where '-wchar-stdc++' and '-cxxlib-gcc' are, apparently invalid options to gcc
and furthermore /ee/dev/bastring.h doesn't exist. By commenting out these
last two paragraphs Makefile.PL builds CCFLAGS with a value of

'-I../ -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -g'

which gcc likes much better. This modification to demo_xe.mk allows
DBD::Oracle to install and work properly. I don't know what BUILD_CCC296 or
BUILD_ICC mean but I suppose it's a Solaris thing that doesn't work under
Linux. Just a guess. In any event it would be nice if Makefile.PL took this
into account.

No, I don´t think so.

Looking at the names of those variable I would assume BUILD_CCC296 to be
options for GCC V2.96 (rather old, but used by Oracle V9) and
BUILD_ICC to be options for the non-free Intel C-compiler for Linux
(didn´t expect anybody to care about that one). Since you are using
Oracle XE (definitely 10g) the first option should not be active.

Re: DBD::Oracle Install Fails on Gentoo Linux

If you have no objection I will add this to the new README.64bit.txt. I am
collecting there all sorts of info related to compily DBD::Oracle on 64 bit
boxes. Geting the Makefile.PL to work for 64 bit system is one of the jobs
penciled in for a later version of DBD::Oracle

Re: DBD::Oracle Install Fails on Gentoo Linux

no objection from me, although as hannes has pointed out, these paragraphs are
for use with compilers that no one likely will ever use. the fix seems
pretty clear to me now: modify Makefile.PL so that it recognizes
"ifdef...endif" blocks and then skip processing these weird compilers.
