PL/SQL Developer 7.0 Forum

Instructions:

Run the installer (install unsupported software from the crossover installer, specify path.)

get some of the oracle instantclient for win32 zip files (at least basic)
unpack them in ~/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/Program Files
cd instantclient_10_2
mkdir network/admin
cd network/admin
ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora .
OR
ln -s $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora .
wherever your tnsnames.ora lives...

Launch pl/sql developer.

Go to preferences.
set oracle home to C:\Program Files\instantclient_10_2
set oci.dll to C:\Program Files\instantclient_10_2\oci.dll

Close it, and launch it again.

You should be able to connect to a database now.

Seems to work fine using CrossOver 7.1.0 and PL/SQL Developer 7.1.5.1398.

The easiest way to get to the C: drive is to go to the Configure menu and select Manage Bottles. Under the Advanced tab there is a button "Open C: Drive in Finder".
