Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SQLITE3_CFLAGS
and SQLITE3_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

What am I doing wrong?

[HenrikBach1]

Or is anybody able to tell me which flavor and version of linux I'm able to build a local version of cveChecker?

Hi Henrik,

I'm currently not able to check it in depth, but if the configure step fails to detect sqlite3 even though it is installed, it might be requiring a sqlite3 development package in addition (commonly "sqlite3-dev" or so).

Such a package contains the files needed to build support for sqlite3, and is optional on some operating systems as it isn't needed to just run sqlite3.

Wkr, Sven

Hi Sven

Thank you for your suggestions. They worked for me.

However, now the script is complaining about missing Makefile.in:

checking for SQLITE3... yes
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
root@973091faf51e:/projects/cvechecker/cvechecker-2021-05-08-build/cvechecker-master# 

Should I just ignore it and continue to build the cvechecker?

[sjvermeu]

You probably first need to call autoreconf (I think with the option --force). That will generate Makefile.in.

After that, run the configure command again.

Wkr, Sven
