[sqlite] Is readline ubiquitous on 32-bit x86 Linux?
Or there's editline, used for some things as a partial readline substitute.

The only minor oddity of its build is that it requires C99. editline is not as well-known on Linux systems, and rarely (if ever) preinstalled, whereas linenoise is easy to embed in one's project. Linenoise example: http://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/r/libfossil/dir/s2 the Makefile uses the linenoise directory (copied 1-to-1 from the github repo) to link linenoise in to that app (shell.c). Grep the makefile and shell.c for "linenoise" to see the compile flags and API uses (essentially identical to the basic readline API). -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.

The pre-built sqlite3 shell tool for x86 Linux available for download here: http://www.sqlite.org/download.html does not include readline support. Which makes it painful to use. Does anyone think that many systems would be affected if it dynamically linked against the system readline? This means that the binary would not work on systems without libreadline.so installed. Or is readline considered ubiquitous by now? Dan.

A possible (and small alternative) to readline would be Antirez "linenoise". Steve Bennet's fork adds windows portability and some other things. https://github.com/antirez/linenoise https://github.com/msteveb/linenoise That is small enough to be directly built as part of the shell, I believe.
