How to Build the QSQLITE Plugin

[Bonnie]

As I checked the result of debug level, it should be SQLITE_PREFIX.
And you should have include and lib folder in ${SQL_DIR}.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@tmfjr said in How to Build the QSQLITE Plugin:

We added an encryption piece and need to use our custom version.

Then why do you add '-system-sqlite'?
Take a look into config.log as described in the documentation to see why the sqlite libs/headers are not found.

[tmfjr]

@Bonnie Right, thanks!

[tmfjr]

@Christian-Ehrlicher Good catch, thanks! Here is the solution that seems to build correctly now:

export SQL_DIR=/data/DEPS_ROOT/SQLite
export QTSRC=/data/Qt/5.14.2/Src
export QTDIR=/data/Qt/5.14.2/gcc_64
export PATH=${QTDIR}/bin:${PATH}

cd ${QTSRC}/qtbase/src/plugins/sqldrivers/
qmake -- SQLITE_PREFIX=${SQL_DIR}
make sub-sqlite

@tmfjr if your issue is solved, please don't forget to mark your post as such!

[tmfjr]

@Pablo-J-Rogina It looks like it it not solved. Although it compiles without error, it is not using the version of SQLite I provide. In the build log, there is no -I or -L path to my version of SQLite.

@tmfjr
I think you was right to use "-system-sqlite", maybe try to add that back?

[tmfjr]

@Bonnie I tried adding it back, but I get this:

ERROR: Feature 'system-sqlite' was enabled, but the pre-condition 'features.sql-sqlite && libs.sqlite3' failed.

[Bonnie]

@tmfjr
What's your config.log saying?
And what do you have in ${SQL_DIR}/include and ${SQL_DIR}/lib?

[tmfjr]

@Bonnie It looks like it is finding the library, but seems to not like that it is static.

Hi,

Does your custom SQLite library have dependencies ?
Are the missing symbols coming from them ?

[tmfjr]

@SGaist It seems all dependent libraries need to be listed when configuring. Instead of following the instructions noted initially, which are incorrect, I configured like this:

./configure -I ${SQL_DIR}/include -L ${SQL_DIR}/lib -system-sqlite SQLITE_PREFIX=${SQL_DIR} SQLITE_INCDIR=${SQL_DIR}/include SQLITE_LIBDIR=${SQL_DIR}/lib SQLITE_LIBS="-lsqlite3 -lpthread -ldl" -prefix /data/Qt_build

This got me past the configure errors. Some of this may be redundant, but my config.log is now clean.

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -w -fPIC -I. -I/data/DEPS_ROOT/SQLite/include -I/data/DEPS_ROOT/SQLite/include -I/data/DEPS_ROOT/SQLite/include -I/data/Qt/5.14.2/Src/qtbase/mkspecs/linux-g++ -o main.o main.cpp

g++ -Wl,-O1 -o sqlite3 main.o -L/data/DEPS_ROOT/SQLite/lib -lsqlite3 -lpthread -ldl -lz
=> source accepted.
test config.qtbase_sqldrivers.libraries.sqlite3 succeeded

[SGaist]

The tripled include statement looks like overkill in the test :-D
But other than than that, yes, you need to list everything that is used and not "hidden" in the implementation itself.

@SGaist: I've read this thread as I'm trying to do exactly the same - i.e. build a SQLite driver using the encryption extension.

I have downloaded the sources for sqlite into a directory and defined %SQLITE_DIR% to point to it.

I am having a problem with configure.

With this configure command:

CALL configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase -nomake tests -nomake examples -system-sqlite -opensource -confirm-license SQLITE_PREFIX=%SQLITE_DIR%

I see this error, from configure:

Project ERROR: Unknown feature object datestring in expression 'features.datestring && libs.odbc'.

Before reading this thread, I had -sql-sqlite in the configure command rather than -system-sqlite and, while configure completed successfully, I later saw the same error when I executed qmake.

I appreciate that I have omitted several arguments that @tmfr had included on the configure command and I expect to have to tackle them once I've got configure to complete successfully once more.

I can't see anything helpful in config.log. In particular it does not include any reference to datestring. How should I continue?

Apologies

The above transcript comes from a run where I executed configure ... -sql-sqlite.... I know this is wrong. I still have errors with configure ... -system-sqlite ... but I will try to resolve them myself before posting any further questions.

[SGaist]

@AMGAMG there's no need to rebuild all of Qt only to build one of the SQL plugins. There are instructions in the documentation for that.
