Build SQLCipher on Mac OS X
2013-07-24
SQLCipher is encrypted SQLite. The following are the steps to build it on Mac OS X.
Donwload and build OpenSSL code.
$ curl -o openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
$ tar xzf openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.0.0e
$ ./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc
$ make
// 'make install' if you want to install it
Now we get libcrypto.a in the same folder.
Download and build SQLCipher code.
In another directory,
$ git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
$ cd sqlcipher
Change /path/to/libcrypto.a in the following command to your path
$ ./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="/path/to/libcrypto.a"
$ make
Now we get sqlcipher executable with static linking. However it does not work well for me. I have to build sqlcipher again with dynamic linking.
$ make clean
$ ./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
$ make
We get sqlcipher executable again. This one works for me.
Try sqlcipher
Go to parent folder
$ cd ..
Create a db without encryption.
$ sqlcipher/sqlcipher hello
sqlite> create table test(id integer);
sqlite> .q
$ hexdump -C hello | head -15

create a db with encryption.
$ sqlcipher/sqlcipher hello2
sqlite> PRAGMA key='mypass';
sqlite> PRAGMA cipher = 'aes-256-cfb';
sqlite> create table test(id integer);
sqlite> .q
Now the db is encrypted.
$ hexdump -C hello2 | head -15

Note: I found there are some problems in changing default codec. I failed to read the encrypted db. Do not run this line:
PRAGMA cipher = 'aes-256-cfb';
