Linux

The necessary files for certain backends might be available at different locations in some distributions. Below are the ./configure calls for the major distributions if they differ from the default.

Debian/Ubuntu

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" \
./configure --with-backends="mysql"

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/postgresql" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/postgresql" \
./configure --with-backends="pgsql"

Fedora/RHEL

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" \
./configure --with-backends="mysql"

Mandriva

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" \
./configure --with-backends="mysql"

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/pgsql" \
./configure --with-backends="pgsql"

SuSE

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mysql" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql" \
./configure --with-backends="mysql"

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/pgsql" \
./configure --with-backends="pgsql"

Common

This section applies to all distributions and Unix-like systems.

Oracle

The location of the Oracle files isn't distribution specific but are placed in an arkward location by Oracle. The necessary preprocessor and library flags are:

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/<version>/client/rdbms/public" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/<version>/client/lib" \
./configure --with-backends="oracle"

Please replace <version> with the version of your installed Oracle package.
