Building BerkeleyDB

The CHICKEN binding for BerkeleyDB depends, of course, on the native BerkeleyDB library. It is known to be compatible with versions 5.2 and 4.8 of this library.

If you link against version 5.x of BerkeleyDB, consider defining the feature identifiers enable-forcesync and enable-bulk during the build process to enable synchronisation when closing the database and bulk transactions respectively. If you link against a recent version in the 5.x series of BerkeleyDB, consider defining the feature identifier enable-heap to activate code dealing with heap databases.
