Bug 282225 – dev-db/sqlite: Add "readline" USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Bennett 2009-08-21 18:14:46 UTC]

I have an embedded (uclibc) target where I don't have readline installed.  I would like to install sqlite without having to add the readline library.

Reproducible: Always

dev-db/sqlite doesn't depend on sys-libs/readline.
Please explain your suggestion in more details.

When sqlite3 is built, it is linked against sys-libs/readline.  I don't have the readline library on the embedded target that I use, and would rather not add (due to space limitations).  So, instead, I built sqlite with --disable-readline, then sqlite3 did not link against the readline library.

So, I'm suggesting that a readline USE flag be added to the sqlite ebuild that I can set to -readline.

Yeah there seems to be ./configure switch:

betelgeuse@pena /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/sqlite-3.6.17/work/sqlite-3.6.17 $ ./configure --help | grep readline
  --disable-readline      disable readline support [default=detect]
  --with-readline-lib     specify readline library
  --with-readline-inc     specify readline include paths

I added "readline" USE flag.
