<h1>Building BerkeleyDB</h1>

The <a

binding for <a

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 <tt>enable-forcesync</tt> and <tt>enable-bulk</tt> 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 <tt>enable-heap</tt> to activate code dealing with heap databases.
