Easiest: do an install of the relevant oracle stuff on a scratch 
machine/VM, collect DLLs and put them in a directory.

Add that directory to the front of the %PATH% in the build script., and 
that dll will be found and not the system one.

All my path changing scripts have the same structure:


@echo off

if "%OLDPATH%" neq "" goto :nosave
set OLDPATH=%PATH%
:nosave
SET PATH=%OLDPATH%
PATH c:\pp32\bin\i386-win32;%PATH%

This allows to undo the change by just SET PATH=%OLDPATH%, and if I 
first use cygwin and then FPC, that they are not both in the path as the 
same time
