Home Binary distributions Source distribution Documentation

If you have build binaries for other platforms, you might send them to me for inclusion in the binaries section. Other people using the same platform as you might be happy with this. Also if you have found (and solved?) any bugs or errors, I would be happy to hear about it.

The spec files used to build RPMs for Mandrake are in the tar files in the build directory. These may be useful (with some small adaptations) to build for other distributions.

The dbi package requires the interface and pkgtools< packages, that are also available from this page

interface-1.0.0-src.tar.gz

dbi sources

dbi-1.0.0-src.tar.gz

How to build

Tcl and Tk should be installed first. dbi is a dynamically loadable extension. You can build dbi using the following scheme:

Download dbi-1.0.0-src.tar.gz
Unpack the file
```
tar xvzf dbi-1.0.0-src.tar.gz
```
Goto the directory:
```
cd dbi
```
Configure. This command has several options you might want to use. You can get a list of options using
```
./configure --help
```
eg. use --prefix for installation in /usr instead of in /usr/local. May depend on where your Tcl installation is
```
./configure --prefix=/usr
```
eg. use --disable-stubs for compiling with older Tcl versions (< 8.0.5)
```
./configure --disable-stubs
```
Make the program
```
make
```
Install. You may have to become superuser (root) to do this
```
make install
```

How to build a dbi implementation

Several implementations are delivered together with the dbi package; so after installing dbi you can build by going to the implementation directory:

cd dbi/sqlite3

and using configure and make the same way as for dbi.
