[soci-users] /soci-sqlite3.h:28:26: fatal error: soci-backend.h: No such file or directory

[Witold E Wolski]

Hi,

using : soci-3.2.2

build with sqlite support, installed, configured with cmake.

now trying to connect to sqlite file
included

#include "soci/soci.h"
#include "soci/sqlite3/soci-sqlite3.h"


and getting

/home/witold/prog/soci-install/include/soci/sqlite3/soci-sqlite3.h:28:26:
fatal error: soci-backend.h: No such file or directory


sure I could something on the lines
#include "soci/soci.h"
#include "soci/soci-backend.h"
#include "soci/sqlite3/soci-sqlite3.h"

but I do not think that this is the intended usage.

there is a wrong include in soci/sqlite3/soci-sqlite3.h

#include "soci-backend.h"

is something wrong with the install?

Nothing wrong with the install, it's just that since the day SOCI was born,
it was assumed users will use -I to point to all necessary includes.

As I mentioned in my reply a minute ago, we're on the way to solve it properly,
though the complete solution will be part of SOCI 4.0.0
as SOCI 3.x line is in getting into very slow maintenance mode only.

Best regards,

Mateusz,

Are there many API changes from 3.0 to 4.0? Is this somewhere documented?

Is the 4.0 branch usable (beta)? does it include sqlite support?

I am just starting integrating soci in my project so I could go for soci 4.0

Mateusz,

Not yet.
At the moment master (current released version) and develop branches are
more or less equivalent, feature-wise.
The develop, has got new source tree layout and is undergoing some
organising and preparation for buried headers, new tests and
merging of numerous outstanding pull requests, etc.

Some of pull requests have been assigned to 4.0.0 milestone:

https://github.com/SOCI/soci/issues?milestone=1

Other features planned have been listed here:

https://github.com/SOCI/soci/wiki/Roadmap

I have to say, there is lots of wishes planned to come true for SOCI 4.0.0,
so the time-to-market depends on the manpower we've got.

There is no separate branch, as SOCI 4 works is happening in the develop.
But, as I mentioned, not many new features have been merged, most of them are
1) dangling as pull requests waiting to be reviewed and merge (browse
them at GitHub)
2) not yet started

The release date of 4.0.0 has not been set, so I'd suggest you to
stick to SOCI 3.x,
The latest 3.x version is always available from the master branch,
until 4.0.0 is released and merged to master.

Yes, this is a known annoyance. Please, see
https://github.com/SOCI/soci/issues/169

but I do not think that this is the intended usage.

As mentioned in the #169, currently, you need to use appropriate -I
to point to several SOCI folders (core and particular backend).

As you can read in the issue #169 and two other linked there (#25 and #125),
this is being solved currently and I'm hoping to complete the buried headers
implementation in the develop branch within next few weeks.

Best regards,
