OCI8 linked static

[Kai_Lorenz]

Dear fellows,

I'm trying to install the PHP-4.2.3 module with a statically linked OCI8. Is there any possibility to do so? Does anybody have knowledge how to figure it out?
It would be really fine if somebody could give me a hint.
Thank You very much.

Best regards

I have a remote Oracle database linked also. The way I did it is to setup a TNS file, like you would with MS Access.

Dear Lord Shryku -

Maybe I wasn't really understandable.
The problem is not the connection to the Oracle database during usage.
I want to link the OCI8-functions-libraries "static" to the PHP module. My aim is to use Apache without referencing to OCI/Oracle-libraries - like I would do with a SAPDB linked 'not-shared'.
As far as I understand the configuration of PHP installation process the default way to link SAPDB (or MySQL) is statically. If I don't want to I would have to specify the option "--with-sapdb=shared, ...". Am I right?
There is no such option to integrate Oracle/OCI, as far as I know. But here the (unchangeable) default choice is the other one: the linker always uses the OCI libs as "shared".
So I'm looking for a workaround ;-)

Thank You very much.

With kind regards
