Hello. The demonstration script for a loadable extension I’m working on uses the sqlite3 command-line shell, and works as expected on Ubuntu. I’m at the stage of checking portability by building and demonstrating it on OSX.
The shell bundled with OSX 10.9.1 (Mavericks) seems to be a custom build, as both the ‘.load’ command and the corresponding 'load_extension()’ function appear to be unavailable. The pre-compiled shell available at http://www.sqlite.org/2013/sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip is built for the i386 architecture (see below), and so is incompatible with an extension built for x86_64, which is the default architecture for code built on my OSX platform. I wonder whether i386 is the intended architecture for the pre-compiled downloadable shell? Details follow below. dhcp-182(niall)15: ls sqlite* sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip dhcp-182(niall)16: openssl sha1 ./sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip SHA1(./sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip)= 32aea883a5f6ad88a16e26f130d2d178e48ef2a9 Matches fingerprint shown on download page. dhcp-182(niall)17: unzip ./sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip Archive: ./sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip inflating: sqlite3 dhcp-182(niall)18: ls sqlite* sqlite-shell-osx-x86-3080200.zip sqlite3 dhcp-182(niall)19: file ./sqlite3 ./sqlite3: Mach-O executable i386 Oh? dhcp-182(niall)20: which sqlite3 /usr/bin/sqlite3 dhcp-182(niall)21: file `!!` file `which sqlite3` /usr/bin/sqlite3: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 Apple provide a version with the expected architecture, but support for loading extensions is disabled. Best regards, and Happy Christmas!
