Hi John,

Thanks for releasing HDBC. This is probably more of a GHC question, but is there any way to staticly link in the Sqlite3 libraries with an application that uses HDBC.Sqlite3?

Yes, you can do that. I think that using ghc -optc -static will do what you want. Or some permutation thereof. That will, of course, also link in libc and everything else statically. Alternatively, you can manually reference libsqlite3.a. However, since the Cabal package is compiled to link in sqlite3 automatically, you'll have to hack your ghc package info first, I think. Hopefully that will give you enough to get started at least. -- John
