Install compiler dependencies
brew install automake autoconf libtool libxml2 pkg-config
brew link libxml2
Build libspatialite
git clone https://github.com/gstf/libspatialite-ios.git
cd libspatialite-ios
make
The result is a folder, lib, containing several .a files, as well as an include folder containing many .h files.
Create a new XCode project
Copy the libspatialite binaries and "include" folder into a folder named "libspatialite" in the XCode project folder.
In the XCode project's "Build Settings", you'll need to set the library and header search paths:
Library Search Paths:
Drag the .a files into your project.
From the "Build Phases" window, add the following to the section "Link Binary With Libraries":
- libz.dylib
- libxml2.2.dylib
- libc++.dylib
- libcharset.1.0.0.dylib
- libiconv.dylib
Now you should be able to use spatialite! To test if everything worked, just make your AppDelegate output the spatialite version.
Add the following to AppDelegate.m
#include <sqlite3.h>
#include <spatialite/gaiageo.h>
#include <spatialite.h>
In your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method, add:
spatialite_init (0);
printf("Spatialite version: %s\n", spatialite_version());
Compile and run and you should see the version output in the console!
Sorry, after upgrading GRDB my code stopped working, and I had to fix it quickly, so I reverted my code to the sqlite3 code that I have listed above.
