Run Lazarus program on headless PC

[KarenT]

Ubuntu 16.04, Lazarus 1.8 RC-4

Hi, I need to run a few programs I have written on the headless PC.

I have copied the Lazarus Folders for the program to a USB and then on to the headless PC and all but one program runs fine. That errant-one needs SQLite3 and I get the "libsqlite3.so" missing library error. I checked the path (/usr/lib/..." and sure enough, no SQLite files anywhere.

The headless does not have Internet access so I can't simply install SQLite3 with "apt-get."

How do I get and then install SQLite so the program can run?

Thank you.

is it not just a case of having the libsqlite3.so file in the same directory as the application?

Do you have another computer with Ubuntu? You can just download with
apt -d install ...
it will download the deb file. It can be installed on the headless pc with dpkg -i ...
Replace the dots with the correct package/filename. Make sure to run both commands as root or with sudo.
You could also statically link the .so when compiling in Lazarus; http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=19357.0

• Download the package using another machine, copy to the headless one, and install using dpkg -i
• Compile from source, moving the resulting .so somewhere LD_LIBRARY_PATH recognizes (surely /usr/lib included by default)
• Statically link the library

No, that's not how things work in Linux

Thanks everyone, I think I will just install Lazarus on the headless one and that should take care if it all as I assume Lazarus installs it.

That will allow me to make changes to a program if needed, at the risk of interleaved updates on sneaker-net with between the PCs of course.
