Help with Berkeley DB

Help with Berkeley DB

[Manuel Tejada]

Hello Everybody.

In order to learn the basic of the Sleepycat Berkeley
DataBase recently I downloaded and installed
libdb4.3-4.3.28-1.tar.gz  and db-4.3.28-1.tar.bz2
using setup.exe.

But really I don't know in which Directory has it been
installed. I was looking for it in the cygwin's
directory tree but the only things related to it that
I have found are the db4.3.lst.gz and libdb4.3.lst.gz
files boths in /etc/setup plus the documentation
located in /usr/share/doc. No directory nor files with
db_* or libdb* names.

Forgive me my Ignorance but this is the first time I
am going to use this kind of database and perhaps the
db4.3.lst.gz and libdb4.3.lst.gz are all I need and
just I don't know how to start using it. Or I need an
aditional library?

If anyone can tell me what to do I will appreciate the
help.


Manuel TEJADA M.

take a look in /usr/share/doc/db-4.3.28 for some help files.

To see what is in any package, type "cygcheck -l package".  Or visit the
Cygwin package page: <http://cygwin.com/packages/>

In general, a typical library consists of three packages.  "foo" is the
base package, "libfoo" contains the shared library (DLL) needed at
runtime for programs compiled with this library, and "libfoo-devel"
contains files necessary for development of things using "foo".

In the case of the BerkeleyDB packages, "db4.3" is the base package
containing documentation and misc files, "libdb4.3" contains the DLL,
and "libdb4.3-devel" contains the headers and import libraries.  Note
that "db4.3" requires "libdb4.3" so in most cases all you have to do is
select the "db4.3" package in setup.exe.  If you want to compile a
BerkeleyDB program though, you need the -devel package.

You will only confuse yourself by referring to packages by their
.tar.bz2 filename, which can be different than the package name.  In the
above I am only referring to what the package is actually called, which
is what you see in setup.exe.

Thanks to all of you.

Brain, You were very illustrative.
In effect I lacked the devel package.
Right now I am downloading the libdb4.3-devel.
