#18554: [PATCH] Update sqlite3 build process, add +fts3 variant -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: eridius@… | Owner: mww@… Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: sqlite3 | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by eridius@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: wontfix => Comment: Yes, we definitely need an FTS3 variant. I looked into adapting the source tarball (rather than the amalgamation) but that would require significantly more changes to the Portfile. Also, the [http://www.sqlite.org/download.html Download page] states that the amalgamation source is the recommended way to get sqlite3 (''This is the recommended source distribution for all Unix and unix-like platforms.''). However, even more importantly, it states very clearly that you should not use the source tree tarball: ''The Makefile and configure script in this tarball are not supported''. Their use is '''__not__ recommented'''. The SQLite developers do not use them. You should not use them either. If you want a configure script and an automated build, use either the amalgamation tarball or TEA tarball instead of this one. To build from this tarball, hand-edit one of the template Makefiles in the root directory of the tarball and build using your own customized Makefile. Given that paragraph, I strongly recommend using the amalgamation tarball even if it has the possibility of reducing performance slightly on PPC. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18554#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
