Hi, I've just built 2.8.15 on Cygwin which worked without a hitch (thanks to those who added Cygwin support in the past). However, I came across a problem that makes working with databases a bit inconvenient. It seems like the library does not understand absolute paths, only relative paths. You can simply test this with the command line tool sqlite:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/lit $ sqlite /usr/local/share/refdb/db/refdb SQLite version 2.8.15 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> select * from CITSTYLE; Unable to open database "/usr/local/share/refdb/db/refdb": unable to open databa se: /usr/local/share/refdb/db/refdb [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/lit cd / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / $ sqlite usr/local/share/refdb/db/refdb SQLite version 2.8.15 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> select * from CITSTYLE; [lots of entries] cd - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/lit $ sqlite ../../../usr/local/share/refdb/db/refdb SQLite version 2.8.15 Enter ".help" for instructions sqlite> select * from CITSTYLE; [lots of entries] The same problem occurs if I use an application linked against libsqlite. If I set the absolute path to the database file, the app fails. If I start the app in / and pass the relative path, the app works ok. I'm currently away from my Linux/BSD boxes, so I can't tell whether this problem is specific to Cygwin. Can anyone help? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
