Hi,
I'm an experienced Delphi developer coming from Windows to Linux (Ubuntu 6.10)
I would like to use the Sqlite3 db engine but am unable to install the required packages into Lazarus
When I attempt the package "sqlite3laz.lpk" install it fails on linking, ld complaining that it cannot find -lsqlite3:
"Compile IDE (without linking)" completed
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3
/usr/lib/lazarus/ide/lazarus.pp(117,1) Error: Error while linking
make[2]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Database_Tutorial states I require "sqlite runtime library 3.2.1 or above (get from
www.sqlite.org)" and that it must be in the path.
OK, since I need to guess what the runtime library might be called I took a stab at "sqlite-3.3.8.so" - Can someone confirm that that is what is needed? Incidentally, Sqlite3 is definitely installed in the PC.
I have also edited "ld.so.conf" and added the /usr/lib which is the directory where I have placed sqlite-3.3.8.so
But it's not working. Clearly I am missing something in the instructions.
Any help, anyone?
TIA
The GUIGuy.
