[odb-users] Failed: when building and running examples

[Albert (Jinku) Gu]

Hi Jeroen,

Great, it works now!  Thank you!

By the way, the command in web page seems easy to cause misunderstanding. There is no equal sign.

Building and Running the Examples

If you would like to build and run the ODB examples, download the odb-examples package and use the standard autotools build system to compile it on your machine. Normally, the following commands are sufficient:

./configure --with-database <database>
make

Could we update it?

Regards,
Albert

My guess is that your problem is a missing equal sign; that is, your command should be

./configure --with-database=sqlite

I am using a MacBook Pro.  And installed the odb complier, libodb,
odb-sqlite.  Even the sqlite tool.
Could you help do me a favour?  Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
