BUILD INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

SQLite Database Browser requires Trolltech's Qt, version 4.6 or newer.

For more information on Qt please consult

http://www.qtsoftware.com. The GPL version of Qt is available in almost

all Linux distributions as a default package.

The only requirements for building this code are the presence of Qt and sqlite3.

Qt can be included as a static or shared library, depending on the current Qt

configuration on the building machine.

Provided you have Qt and cmake installed and configured, simply run

cmake

followed by

make

in the main directory. This will generate the sqlitebrowser (or

sqlitebrowser.exe, or sqlitebrowser.app) application in the src subdirectory.

The same process works for building the code

in any platform supported by Qt (including other Unix systems with

X11.)

Cross compile windows

=====================

These are instructions to cross compile within a Linux system a Windows binary and installer

Requirements:

* mxe cross compile environment --> http://mxe.cc

* cmake

* sqlitebrowser sources

Get the following mxe packages:

make gcc sqlite qt nsis

After successful compilation go into your mxedir/usr/bin and add 2 symlinks:

ln -s i686-pc-mingw32-windres windres

ln -s i686-pc-mingw32-makensis makensis

Now cd into your sqlitebrowser source directory and create a build directory for

the windows binary and create the correct makefiles:

mkdir build-win

cd build-win

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path to mxe/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/share/cmake/mxe-conf.cmake ..

Before compiling we have to add the mxe/usr/bin directory to the PATH (so windres and makensis can be found):

export PATH=/path to mxe/usr/bin:$PATH

Now compile:

make

If additionaly want an NSIS install:

make package

done.
