How to create the plugin for OCI in RHEL 7 Linux
-
I am developing a RHEL 7 Qt application and need to connect to an Oracle database. When calling QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QOCI"), I am prompted with the following:
QSqlDatabase: QOCI driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITEI have Oracle Install Client v11.2 installed, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I've done extensive research and cannot find a solution. Any help is appreciated!
Based on what I saw online, I tried creating an oci directory within my Qt dir (/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/sqldrivers) and then created an oci.pro file. Its contents are below:
INCLUDEPATH+=/usr/include/oracle/11.2/client LIBS+=-L/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib -lclntsh TEMPLATE = subdirsI ran qmake-qt5 on this to generate a Makefile, but when I run make, the necessary QOCI .so file is not generated. Help please!

The instructions are here.
You need the Qt sources that matches the Qt library you are using.
The appropriate version of the qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/oci/ folder contains the source code for the plugin, including the PRO file (and CMakeLists.txt in Qt 6+). -

I had to create that directory and the oci.pro myself.
If you want to compile a qt sql plugin you will need the qt sources.
