Source: sqlite3
Version: 3.27.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer,
When cross-building sqlite3, it fails to detect readline: while
actual code wants only <readline/readline.h> (see src/shell.c.in),
but configure.ac checks for <readline.h>;
When not cross-building, this mismatch is hidden by search for
readline.h in {various paths}/include/{,readline/}; it always finds
it in /usr/include/readline, adds (useless) -I/usr/include/readline
to cflags and enables readline support.
When cross-building, this search is disabled, thus sqlite3 shell is
(silently) built without readline support.
(For comparison, autoconf/configure.ac only checks for
readline/readline.h, as it should).
Trivial patch attached.
