Download the sources and the dependencies to compile the ubuntu package:
apt-get source tora sudo apt-get build-dep tora
Prepare the environment:
export ORACLE_HOME="/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client64"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${ORACLE_HOME}/lib"
export TNS_ADMIN="${ORACLE_HOME}"
export ORACLE_PATH_INCLUDES=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client64/
Modify the FindOracle.cmake file:
vi tora-2.1.3/cmake/modules/FindOracle.cmake
to add the following line:
SET(ORACLE_PATH_INCLUDES $ENV{ORACLE_PATH_INCLUDES})
Now you can build and install the package:
