Windows support? about oracledb_exporter

[pnrmx]

I tried to build oracledb_exporter for windows, but this fails to build for me due to:

/home/mika/src/gopath/src/github.com/mattn/go-oci8/connector.go:14:10: undefined: OCI8Connector
/home/mika/src/gopath/src/github.com/mattn/go-oci8/connector.go:20:22: undefined: OCI8Connector
/home/mika/src/gopath/src/github.com/mattn/go-oci8/connector.go:21:9: undefined: OCI8Driver
[...]
/home/mika/src/gopath/src/github.com/mattn/go-oci8/connector.go:21:9: too many errors

I'm aware that the problem is lying within https://github.com/mattn/go-oci8, but I'm wondering if there are any plans to provide releases for Windows?

Thanks for providing oracledb_exporter!

How to compile on windows 64 bit:

• download Oracle Instant Client 64-Bit version
  basic and sdk versions,
• extract client (in my opinion this C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5) and extract SDK to the same folder (C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5\sdk)
• set the environment variables

setx CGO_CFLAGS "C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5\sdk\include"
setx CGO_LDFLAGS "-LC:\oracle\instantclient_18_5 -loci"

• Then install GCC - I prefer MSYS2 64 bit (for example in c:\msys64)
• Run the MSYS2 MINGW64 terminal and set dependencies packages:

# Update pacman
pacman -Su
# Close terminal and open a new terminal
# Update all other packages
pacman -Su
# Install pkg-config and gcc
pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

• go to the pkg-config dir c:/msys64/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig/ and create oci8.pc as this example:

prefix=C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5/sdk/
version=18.5
build=client64
libdir=C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5/sdk/lib/msvc
includedir=C:\oracle\instantclient_18_5/sdk/include
glib_genmarshal=glib-genmarshal
gobject_query=gobject-query
glib_mkenums=glib-mkenums
Name: oci8
Description: Oracle database engine
Version: ${version}
Libs: -L${libdir} -loci
Libs.private:
Cflags: -I${includedir}

• Set %PKG_CONFIG_PATH% as the environment variable:
  setx PKG_CONFIG_PATH "C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig"
• Ensure, that %PATH% includes path to the msys64 binares, if not set it: setx path "%path%;C:\msys64\mingw64\bin"
• everything must comiple, including mattn driver for oracle.

@pnrmx Sorry on stupid question, but what is the next step after the instructions above?

next build ./... in oracledb-exporter dir, or install it.

And what about the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)?

@pnrmx are you ok if I took this instructions and put it directly into the README ?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to setup oracle exporter for prometheus, did all the steps from https://github.com/iamseth/oracledb_exporter
But when i get to the go build ./... i'm getting
go: gopkg.in/alecthomas/[email protected]: Get "https://proxy.golang.org/gopkg.in/alecthomas/kingpin.v2/@v/v2.2.6.mod": dial tcp: lookup proxy.golang.org: no such host

Btw my oracle db machine is on windows has no access to internet so have to do it somehow offline.

Thanks
