[Chicken-users] sql-de-lite integrated SQLite3 library
Hi there. SQLite3 is a great, lightweight database, but I have hesitated to use it in Chicken applications because it's not guaranteed to be installed or recent enough on a user's machine -- especially if they're on Windows or OS X. Installing it can be an annoying extra step for your users. To that end, I've updated the sql-de-lite egg to include an integrated SQLite3 library, currently 3.7.0.1. At installation time, the egg will auto-detect whether your system library is present and recent enough. If so, it links against your system library; if not, it links against the built-in library. It's also possible to override the auto-detection if desired. The goal is to allow you to just depend on sql-de-lite in your application and not worry about whether the library is installed or too old. SQLite3 is a great replacement for ad-hoc file formats and, even if you are not a fan of SQL, the underlying database tech is top-notch. Integrated build has been tested on OS X 10.5, mingw32, and Ubuntu 10.04. Just run `chicken-install -test sql-de-lite` if you would like to test it out, and please report back any bugs or successes.
