[Qgis-developer] SpatiaLite data provider

[Alessandro Furieri]

Hi Gary,

I've completed the integration of my SpatiaLite
data provider in QGis 1.1 [SVN rev.10264]

I've done a quite extensive testing; anything seems
to be reasonably stable.

If you wish to review the patches I've applied you
can find all the sources at:

http://www.gaia-gis.it/QGisJanus/

[please note: the latest version for QGis 1.1 is at
the bottom of the page]

You'll find some useful explanation at:
http://www.gaia-gis.it/QGisJanus/SpatiaLite_QGis.pdf

--------

I noticed there is some annoying issue in the CMake
build system (at least, I wasn't able to find an
elegant and robust solution ...)

The question arises from libsqlite3.so and
related headers:

a) SpatiaLite absolutely needs a recent version
   supporting the R*Tree spatial index (v.3.6.0
   or later; current SQLite is v.3.6.11)

b) my Ubuntu 8.04.1 ships on /usr/lib and /usr/include
   an unbelievably obsolescent libsqlite3.so

c) QGis ships an internal sqlite3, but this too is
   too old to be useful.

I found some problem with PROJ.4 as well (SpatiaLite
uses the latest v.4.6.1), but this one doesn't seems
to be a critical issue, because the proj APIs are
stable.

Any suggestion about this will be strongly appreciate.
 
Best regards,
Sandro Furieri
