Compile an universal binary version of the sqlite 3 library
So far my blog didn't contains a lot of technical posts, maybe this could be the first of a long series...
I'll show you how to compile an universal binary version of the latest sqlite 3.3.5 database engine library.
This is a step by step tutorial...
Open the Terminal and grab a copy of the latest sqlite library:
Expand the archive:
Go into the folder and create a new directory:
Run the configure script with some custom parameters:
Now the interesting part...
Edit the newly created Makefile and add these after the empty TCC += line:
Now save your changes and run:
In the .libs directory there is now an universal libsqlite3.a that you can use with XCode or with gcc.

Open the Terminal and grab a copy of the latest sqlite library:
curl -O http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.3.5.tar.gz
Expand the archive:
tar xzvf sqlite-3.3.5.tar.gz
Go into the folder and create a new directory:
cd sqlite-3.3.5
mkdir bld
cd bld
Run the configure script with some custom parameters:
../configure --enable-shared=no --enable-threadsafe --disable-tcl
--enable-cross-thread-connections --enable-threads-override-locks
--enable-debug=no
Now the interesting part...
Edit the newly created Makefile and add these after the empty TCC += line:
TCC+=-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -arch ppc
Now save your changes and run:
make
In the .libs directory there is now an universal libsqlite3.a that you can use with XCode or with gcc.
