Berkeley DB-5.1.19

[DJ Lucas]

New version included sqlite3 compatible implementation based on API 3.7.0.1. Note that db does not install pkgconfig files, so currently it cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for sqlite3 yet. This needs to be added. Also, current xulrunner requires version 3.7.1 of sqlite3 (backport header changes?)

[DJ Lucas]

Nope, unable to backport _easily_ (well, without making questionable changes). Will add a note about sqlite3 compatibility not being adequate for use by other programs in BLFS.

If you add the --enable-jdbc option to build the sqlite.jar file, you should add this sed or the file ends up in non-standard /usr/jar directory:

sed -i 's|prefix/jar|prefix/share/java|' ../dist/configure

There are also a few more files that need to be chowned to root:root. The docdir thing on the install line is still required. I used the following configure command:

../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
                  --enable-compat185 \
                  --enable-cxx \
                  --enable-java \
                  --enable-sql \
                  --enable-jdbc \
                  --enable-stl \
                  --enable-tcl \
                  --with-tcl=/usr/lib

The following chown command seems to catch all the files:

chown -v -R root:root /usr/bin/dbsql \
                      /usr/bin/db_* \
                      /usr/include/db{,_185,_cxx,stl_*}.h \
                      /usr/lib/libdb{{,_cxx,_sql,_tcl,_stl}.a,{,_cxx,_java,_tcl,_sql,_stl}-5.1.{so,a,la}} \
                      destdir/usr/share/doc/${PACKAGE_NAME}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}

[Randy McMurchy]

The chown command has one line that looks to be too long, also it has some of my custom script stuff in it. Perhaps this would be better:

chown -v -R root:root                                        \
    /usr/bin/{dbsql,db_*}                                    \
    /usr/include/db{,_185,_cxx,stl_*}.h                      \
    /usr/lib/libdb{,_cxx,_sql,_tcl,_stl}.a                   \
    /usr/lib/libdb{,_cxx,_sql,_tcl,_stl,_java}-5.1.{so,a,la} \
    /usr/share/doc/db-5.1.19

Cyrus-SASL will need to be patched for this version of BDB. Build fails with

The patch in this bug report allows SASL to build. I do not know if it actually allows proper access to BDB.

Updated milestone to 6.7

[DJ Lucas]

We'll need to explicitly add --enable-dbm to the configure line now as well.

root [ /lfs-source-archive/Linux-PAM-1.1.3 ]# nm /usr/lib/libdb.so | grep dbm_open root [ /lfs-source-archive/Linux-PAM-1.1.3 ]#

I used:

uudecode="no" ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
                  --enable-compat185 \
                  --enable-cxx \
                  --enable-java \
                  --enable-tcl \
                  --enable-sql \
                  --with-tcl=/usr/lib &&

[DJ Lucas]

with is like so:

root [ /lfs-source-archive ]# nm /usr/lib/libdb.so | grep dbm_open
000c8fd0 T __db_ndbm_open
root [ /lfs-source-archive ]#

Just now seeing this and I made a change to the Heimdal instructions to account for the fact that I did *NOT* add this parameter to BDB. I think this version of BDB is ready for prime time. I've built many packages that actually create a BDB database and they all have performed as expected.

Let's do it. I'm ready to say the same thing about Python-2.7 but I have not tested enough of the old GNOME stuff. Everything else I've build uses Python-2.7 as expected.

Berkeley DB has been updated to 5.2.x in the book.
