Using Spatialite within C++ - locating .lib and .h files

[ckgoo...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I want to make use of Spatialite within my C++ application and normally I’d expect to do this by linking a .lib and including a .h file in my project as well as linking to a .dll.  So far I can only locate .dll files.  Do the .lib and .h files exist in a Windows 64-bit distributable?

Kind regards, Chris

Hi Chris,

the Windows distribution's DLLs are not intended to be linked in
the most classic way but to be loaded dynamically at run-time.

simply put, your app code only needs to execute a particular
SQL statement immediately after opening a new SQLite connection
to load and activate the SpatiaLite extension.

SELECT load_extension('mod_spatialite');

it works on any known programming language (Java, Python,
PHP etc) and of course it also works on C/C++

Thanks Sandro, I will give that a go.
Best, Chris
