# Spatialite for iOS

Install compiler dependencies

```
brew install automake autoconf libtool libxml2 pkg-config
brew link libxml2
```

Build libspatialite
```
git clone https://github.com/gstf/libspatialite-ios.git
cd libspatialite-ios
make
```

The result is a folder, lib, containing several `.a` files, as well as an `include` folder containing many `.h` files.

Create a new XCode project

Copy the libspatialite binaries and "include" folder into a folder named "libspatialite" in the XCode project folder.

In the XCode project's "Build Settings", you'll need to set the library and header search paths:

Library Search Paths: $(PROJECT_DIR)/AppName/libspatialite
Header Search Paths: $(PROJECT_DIR)/AppName/libspatialite/include

![search paths](https://gist.github.com/aaronpk/0252426d5161bc9650d8/raw/9e2d992cf4e5a9c15289cfe06245cedb8592fab5/search-paths.png)

Drag the `.a` files into your project.

From the "Build Phases" window, add the following to the section "Link Binary With Libraries":

* libz.dylib
* libxml2.2.dylib
* libc++.dylib
* libcharset.1.0.0.dylib
* libiconv.dylib

Now you should be able to use spatialite! To test if everything worked, just make your AppDelegate output the spatialite version.

Add the following to AppDelegate.m

```
#include <sqlite3.h>
#include <spatialite/gaiageo.h>
#include <spatialite.h>
```

In your `application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:` method, add:

```
spatialite_init (0);
printf("Spatialite version: %s\n", spatialite_version());
```

Compile and run and you should see the version output in the console!
