Those are are linux libs (*.so) and it makes some sense that cmake won’t 
recognise them. You need to use the windows client, but I couldn’t get cmake to 
find even the headers. I’m not sure what the issue is, but it may be something 
to do with an incompatibility between msvc and gcc - that’s unlikely though and 
in any case, it should find the headers. Maybe the next thing to try is 
installing oracle client into the standard locations under mxe/usr/<target>/.

I’d recommend using the shared builds as there are linking errors with Qt on a 
static build. It’s also reasonably certain that there would be licensing issues 
with static linking.

The other main issue is gcc 5.2. It has stricter errors that break the build. 
If you can do a native linux build with this version and report the errors 
upstream, it will help with the cross-build. (You can get around these with 
-fpermissive, but it’s not a good idea to do that downstream).

Cheers,
