Dear SQLite
I wish to compile SQLite for the ARM processor running Linux (ARM720T).
The compilation will have to use the cross-compiler arm-linux-gcc
version 2.95.2 running on Intel Linux, since the devise it's self has
no compiler.
Does any person have an image for ARM?
If not, would any person have any advise on how this can be made?
Eg, in the configure, can the arm-Linux-gcc be specified as the compiler?
Thanks for any advise,
Ben Clewett.
The official way is to modify the Makefile (tweak the documented options
to suit).
Given that there are autotools, this seems a bit 'off'. Unfortunately
the autotools scripts are slightly broken for doing cross-compile
builds, but aren't hard to make work. I had to tweak the configure
script to allow disabling of the readline library (don't have/want it
for my ARM target) - I can send along a patch against 3.2.7 for this if
you'd like. Then, my configure command line was:
config_TARGET_CC=arm-linux-gcc config_BUILD_CC=gcc ./configure
--disable-tcl --disable-readline --enable-threadsafe
--enable-releasemode --host=arm-linux --prefix=/usr/local/arm
You will want to modify the --prefix= option to someplace that you want
the ARM version installed so your other build scripts can pick it up.
-P
P.S. to DRH: If you'd like I can properly package up any changes
required to make SQLite more 'cross-compile friendly' without having
parallel build mechanisms and pass them along. Doesn't look like any
more depth needed than some simple autotools scripting tweaks so no
damage to vital organs..
