This is a FreeBSD binary port of Oracle client libraries (OCI) made from Oracle 8.1.7.1 for Linux. This port is not officially supported by Oracle. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! These client libraries are suitable for building native Oracle ODBC driver. (Oracle Open Source ODBC Driver Project Page is here: http://fndapl.fnal.gov/~dbox/oracle/odbc/) OCI demos can be built by running "make PROG=ocixx" in directory freebsd/demo. For example, "make PROG=oci03" will build oci03.c. All ocixx demos except oci21 and oci22 (which use async connect) are known to work. Some blob tests (cdemolb, cdemolb2, cdemolbs) are also verified to work properly. Currently only TCP/IP connections are verified to work. Make sure that you have correct ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin/tnsnames.ora. See README.PORT for the detailed explanations how this port was done.
