Hi Christian, We're using a derivative of os_unix.c from the 3.3.5 source package; the checks are in the code to look for the SQLITE_DISABLE_LFS flag; as you can see, it's being set duing the build process. Yet the resulting code somehow seems to be looking for LFS.
BeOS does have a POSIX-like API but there are a few differences, use of bthreads instead of pthreads being one significant difference. Other web references I've run into indicate that BeOS does not support POSIX LFS, and experience bears this out. We're in the same situation as the OS/2 team who posted to the list a couple of weeks ago: we need to insure sqlite will run under BeOS, as Mozilla now uses threaded sqlite and its presence is required for the continued functioning of our Firefox port.
