After git clone, how to compile against non-system sqlite3?

[Richard Michael]

Hello list,

I am hacking on sqlite3-ruby and would like the test suite to compile the native gem against homebrew's sqlite3 [in "/usr/local/Cellar/sqlite/3.8.10.2"].

(Please note, I am not running "gem install ... ".)

Am I to use "ruby setup.rb <something?>" to teach the underlying extconf.rb about the alternate sqlite3?  Perhaps mini_portile can help somehow?

(Naively, I tried "ruby setup.rb config --with-sqlite3-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/sqlite/3.8.10.2", but setup.rb doesn't understand that option.)

I'm examining with:

DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 rake test 2>&1 | grep libsqlite3

dyld: loaded: /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib

I appreciate any help and am happy to PR working instructions back to README.doc.

Thanks,

Richard

(Replying to myself in case it helps someone.)

A little familiarity with rake-compiler was necessary.

"rake compile -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/path/to/sqlite3"

There doesn't appear to be any environment equivalent, so AFAICT, I can't do a single step "rake test", but "rake compile -- ...  && rake test" is OK.

Thanks for the post.  I am having a heck of a time trying to get to 3.8.10.2.

If you get it all working if you could please share that would be awesome.

Yes, my development environment (not meaning "gem install sqlite3") is
compiling against a homebrew installed sqlite3. My post contained the
steps I needed to do so. (Though, I omitted "brew install sqlite3";
that wouldn't matter -- e.g., you could use macports, manual install,
etc.)

If you post what you're trying to do exactly, and what you've tried so
far, perhaps I can help further.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard

Thanks for your post.

I am trying to build sqlite3-ruby using a version of sqlite3 stored in a specific folder, namely sqlite-autoconf-3081101.

I am running from cygwin, if that matters.

When I try:

> rake compile -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/cygdrive/c/bin/sqlite-autoconf-3081101

I get the error:

rake aborted!

LoadError: cannot load such file -- hoe

Was -- meant to indicate a specific file?

The contents of folder sqlite-autoconf-3081101 are:

config.guess

config.log

config.status

config.sub

configure

configure.ac

depcomp

INSTALL

install-sh

libsqlite3.la

libtool

ltmain.sh

Makefile

Makefile.am

Makefile.in

missing

README

shell.c

sqlite3.1

sqlite3.c

sqlite3.exe

sqlite3.h

sqlite3.lo

sqlite3.o

sqlite3.pc

sqlite3.pc.in

sqlite3ext.h

sqlite3-shell.o

sqlite3-sqlite3.o

tea

Does this look similar to the contents of the directory that you used? 

Thanks

Daniel

No; rather, it appears you should install the 'hoe' gem: "gem install
hoe" should do it.

(At this point, I don't think your problem has anything to do with
sqlite itself.)
