Dear MacPort users,

this is an Email to qt-interest due to problems of sqlite support in Qt4 using macPorts' sqlite3 port. See the end for macPorts-specific questions, please.

I understand this MacPort is a binary package for MacOS made from a vanilla Qt/Mac source package. Is that correct?

Yes.
However, we do (yet) not distribute binary packages but "recipes" to build them on the destination machine. When executed the qt4-mac Portfile (recipe) downloads the source from TrollTech and builds it..

By the way, you shouldn't have to force:
        -largefile
        -stl

You definitely shouldn't need:
        -no-nis
        -no-cups
These are Qt/X11 only.

Okay, but thet should not hurd, I guess.

We are having some problems with sqlite support when using the system-sqlite (sqlite 3.5.4), i.e., calls to sqlite3_set_auxdata fail (confirmed, for example, for sqliteman and the books demo of Qt4).
[...]
Starting the books demo gives the following backtrace:
[...]

This could as well be an issue with SQLite. It would be interesting to see how the system SQLite library itself has been built.

It's build using this Portfile
  
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/databases/sqlite3/Portfile

What are the arguments passed to sqlite3_open16? It would be worth writing a non-Qt program and passing the same arguments to sqlite3_open16. Does it also crash?

For the books example this should be the call from within Qt's

bool QSQLiteDriver::open(const QString & db, const QString &, const QString &, const QString &, int, const QString &conOpts)

which is this:

    if (sqlite3_open16(db.constData(), &d->access) == SQLITE_OK) {


We get there from books.app

   QSqlError initDb()

which contains

    QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QSQLITE");

...


MacPorts question: Are people successfully using MacPorts' sqlite3 port? Are you using the functions in question?
  sqlite3_open16
  sqlite3_set_auxdata

Are there any known issues with these functions on Mac OS X or in MacPorts?

Greetings,
Jochen
