how to compile spatialite for iOS


I am new here and this is my first topic. I am very new on iOS platform and i am trying to use spatialiate extension with sqlite3 but i couldn't do this. It is making me crazy. I don't know how and where do i start. Can someone give me suggestion?

Thanks.


Solution

  • I'm the guy who shared the libs on http:// ;-) I did some good progress on easing the integration of spatialite for iOS. Now I'm able to build a fully standalone static library of spatialite (2.3.1 that embeds the required GEOS and PROJ so that don't have to take car of them).

    Just download the zip http://lionel.gueganton.free.fr/spatialite/spatialite2.3.1.zip and you'll get the .a for x86 and arm + headers so that you can use directly the spatialite interface from those headers.

    Once you've drag n drop the .a (both are required to work in the simulator AND on the real hardware), you can initialize spatialite by just invoking spatialite_init(1).

    The following should be displayed on your console log:

    SpatiaLite version ..: 2.3.1    Supported Extensions:
        - 'VirtualShape'    [direct Shapefile access]
        - 'VirtualText      [direct CSV/TXT access]

        - 'RTree'       [Spatial Index - R*Tree]
        - 'MbrCache'        [Spatial Index - MBR cache]
        - 'VirtualFDO'      [FDO-OGR interoperability]
        - 'SpatiaLite'      [Spatial SQL - OGC]
