AIX: no native library

Running into below issue while running program on AIX machine.

Caused by: java.lang.Exception: No native library is found for os.name=AIX and os.arch=ppc64. path=/org/sqlite/native/AIX/ppc64 at org.sqlite.SQLiteJDBCLoader.loadSQLiteNativeLibrary(SQLiteJDBCLoader.java:335) at org.sqlite.SQLiteJDBCLoader.initialize(SQLiteJDBCLoader.java:64) at org.sqlite.core.NativeDB.load(NativeDB.java:63) at org.sqlite.SQLiteConnection.open(SQLiteConnection.java:235)

Ran checks and

• could see "AIX" support is not available in native directory.
• couldn't find entry for "AIX" in makefile as well(under source code sqlite-jdbc/Makefile).

Any pointers to resolve the issue?

Thanks.

Compile yourself and add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH or java.library.path.

How to compile?

[michael-o]

Run make?

Note: below changes are using IBM's c compiler(and not gcc). And I got these with the help of one of C developer. I still do not have details of few the flags that are documented below. You may need to change flags if you run into error as it may not be same on the AIX version you have.

Below steps worked for the AIX environment on I had to deploy app.

1. Download org.xerial JDBC lib code. Download the correct version/TAG that is being used by SQLite JDBC jar.
2. Unzip it.
3. Edit Makefile.common as follows

• set Default_CC := $(CROSS_PREFIX)cc --> Run "cc" at prompt to verify if it's set in "PATH" env variable. If it's not set, then set it using export PATH=<compiler_path>:$PATH
• set Default_STRIP := $(CROSS_PREFIX)strip -X64
• set Default_LINKFLAGS := -qmkshrobj -lpthread -lm
• set Default_CCFLAGS := -I$(JAVA_HOME)/include -Ilib/include -Ilib/inc_linux -q64 -qcpluscmt -O2 -qmaxmem=-1
• set Default_LIBNAME := libsqlitejdbc.a

4. Run gmake native

• this will trigger download sqliteamagamation zip.
• If your machine is behind proxy, and download fails run gmake clean. Download the file manually and under "target" directory. Create target directory manually, as by default it will not be there.
• target directory should be at same location as Makefile.common.

5. Once the make command succeeds, you will have native library under target/classes/org/sqlite/native/<OS>/<arch>/libsqlitejdbc.a

6. To Test add -Dorg.sqlite.lib.path=<BASEPATH>/target/classes/org/sqlite/native/<OS>/<arch>/ to java command and test it out.

Thanks.

Where can download Makefile.common? and how to add aix support?

I tried to compile using gcc, on AIX 7.3.0.0, but didn't work. Any helps?

My Steps:

1. Install Packages

dnf install gcc.ppc make.ppc git.ppc

2. Export Java Home

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java8_64/

3. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc.git

4. Compile

cd sqlite-jdbc gmake native

As you can see below I had only warnings

5. Copy library libsqlitejdbc

cp target/sqlite-3.45.1-AIX-ppc64/libsqlitejdbc.so libsqlitejdbc.a

6. Check the libsqlitejdbc.a

file libsqlitejdbc.a

libsqlitejdbc.a: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module

7. Compile Sample.java

java Sample.java

8. Run the Sample.java

java -cp .:slf4j-api-2.0.12.jar:sqlite-jdbc-3.45.1.0.jar -Dorg.sqlite.lib.path=./libsqlitejdbc.a Sample

But native library could not be founded.
