Add on packages

Each release of the GNADE project provides several add on packages. These individual packages are candiates for later integration into the GNADE source distribution.

In order to install such packages the GNADE source distribution has to be installed and these packages have to be installed on top of this distribution.

In order to install add on packages change into the base directory of the GNADE project and follow the instructions below:

OCI - Oracle Call Interface

This package provides an API for Oracle.

         cd dbi
         gunzip -c oci-source-version.tar.gz | tar xvf -
         cd oci-source-version
         make

         cd contrib
         gunzip -c gsql-source-version.tar.gz | tar xvf -
