SQLiteCpp Meson Build

Quick builds

• Default build:
  • meson setup builddir
  • meson compile -C builddir
• With tests and examples:
  • meson setup builddir -DSQLITECPP_BUILD_TESTS=true -DSQLITECPP_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true
  • meson compile -C builddir
  • meson test -C builddir

CI-style setup (GitHub Actions)

• meson setup builddir -DSQLITECPP_BUILD_TESTS=true -DSQLITECPP_BUILD_EXAMPLES=true --force-fallback-for=sqlite3
• meson compile -C builddir
• meson test -C builddir

Options

• SQLITECPP_BUILD_TESTS: build unit tests.
• SQLITECPP_BUILD_EXAMPLES: build examples.
• SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA: enable column origin metadata.
• SQLITE_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER: enable assert handler.
• SQLITE_HAS_CODEC: enable codec API (requires SQLCipher).
• SQLITE_USE_LEGACY_STRUCT: legacy sqlite3_value struct.
• SQLITECPP_DISABLE_STD_FILESYSTEM: disable std::filesystem.
• SQLITECPP_DISABLE_SQLITE3_EXPANDED_SQL: disable sqlite3_expanded_sql.
• SQLITE_OMIT_LOAD_EXTENSION: omit load extension.

Notes

• SQLiteCpp requires SQLite 3.38.0 or newer. Meson checks the sqlite3 dependency version, and the source-level compile-time check covers custom dependency configurations.
• C++17 is the SQLiteCpp project minimum; Meson defaults to cpp_std=c++17 and rejects older standards.
• MSVC requires VS2017 15.9 / MSVC 19.16 or newer, matching the CMake minimum and its CI coverage.
• C++20 can be selected explicitly for compatibility testing.
