[DBD-SQLite] Re: [sqlite] SQLite bug ticket - build fails on sun4-solaris-64int 2.10

[Adam Kennedy]

The build code we're using is run across all operating systems.

You can see the actual build script here.

http://ali.as/cpan/trunk/DBD-SQLite/Makefile.PL

Unfortunately, we neither have the ability to run configure (as we
don't have reliable access to /bin/sh or any of the other stuff it
needs) or the ability to use a pregenerated static configuration
across all platforms.

But your other comments are welcome.

I've removed the useless pointer size flag, and commented out the core
flag until we can determine why it was there in the first place
(there's a new team looking after DBD::SQLite since about March last
year, and some stuff is definitely grandfathered in from long ago).
