Hi, You should just download and install cx_Oracle directly instead of trying to build it. In theory it should work on Windows 8 without needing a rebuild. :-)
http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/ If you do actually need to rebuild because of Windows 8 you can use the platform development kit available from Microsoft which includes the compilers and set the environment variable DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1 Without that you need a copy of Visual Studio installed on your machine. Hope that helps.
