Thanks! I keep forgetting about those builds.
But I do think the SQLite driver should report if it supports SpatiaLite. For
example, in ogrsqlitedriver.cpp have something like:
const char *OGRSQLiteDriver::GetName()
{
#ifdef HAVE_SPATIALITE
return "SQLite+SpatiaLite functions";
#else
return "SQLite";
#endif
}
Although looking at the driver code, the support really isn't as simple as
that. As the OGR driver doc mentions the OGR implementation of SQLite will read
and write SpatiaLite databases, it just will not do spatial indexes or
SpatiaLite spatial functions (as these are in the code library, not in the
database as Stored Procedures as with other spatial database types like
PostGIS). But it WILL read and write SpatiaLite's flavour of geometry, and
create SpatiaLite-compatible databases (it even creates the geometry_columns and
spatial_ref_sys tables!). I think these points need to be stated explicitly in
the driver doc.

Those have been compiled with spatialite support.

Tamas,
I was afraid of that. I'm having trouble getting MS4W 3 Beta 10's OGR
to read my SpatiaLite database. I suspect it's because SpatiaLite was
not compiled in (I'm a SQLite newbie so I'm not sure); but there's no
way to tell.
Thanks!
Brent
