Mastering Embedded Linux Programming - Second Edition

An example: SQLite

The SQLite library implements a simple relational database and is quite popular on embedded devices. You begin by getting a copy of SQLite:

$ wget http://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-autoconf-3081101.tar.gz$ tar xf sqlite-autoconf-3081101.tar.gz$ cd sqlite-autoconf-3081101

Next, run the configure script:

$ CC=arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabihf-gcc \./configure --host=arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/usr

That seems to work! If it had failed, there would be error messages printed to the Terminal and recorded in config.log. Note that several makefiles have been created, so now you can build it:

$ make

Finally, you install it into the toolchain directory by setting the make variable DESTDIR. If you don't, it will try ...
