@Doug
VM's run like a dog on windows (this was the route I took prior to posting here
- unsuccessfully) and it really doesn't solve my lack of knowledge of linux (I
don't have a memory like an elephant to remember complex command lines and even
simple things to linux users - like trying to install something - took me
hours). It also makes a 1-shot automated build impossible. The solution I'm
really looking for is cross-compiling (long term) and the SO (short term),
@eno
I'm sure RPMs are really cool. But previously I just included all the dynamic
libraries in a directory so LabVIEW knew where to find them and everything
worked fine. The end user just unzipped the API to a directory and started
developing. No "download this, then do that" or "oh and by the way you need
this
and also that is a dependency". Simple for the end-user and for me (I just need
to zip a directory). From what people tell me, unlike the MAC, SQlite isn't
part
of any default install in linux and they would have to do as you suggest and
download something (and I would have to support that installation too-which I
cannot). Additionally, thAny solution that involves linux is really off the
menu. It needs to be a cross-compile or I just drop linux support. But at least
I can then say I have made an effort for linux users - even though I'm not one
myself.
The platform is whatever the SQLite from sqlite.org was compiled for
(preferably
with the aforementioned switches, but if that's too hard; then with default).
The windows and VX works libraries have those defines, but if it's not
possible,
then linux users won't get full text search and they'll have to use low level
functions (rather than the easy API) for foreign keys. They'll just have to
live
with it as a limitation in linux as MAC users do.
