Add approximate nearest neighbor infrastructure to vec0: shared distance dispatch (vec0_distance_full), flat index type with parser, NEON-optimized cosine/Hamming for float32/int8, amalgamation script, and benchmark suite (benchmarks-ann/) with ground-truth generation and profiling tools. Remove unused vec_npy_each/vec_static_blobs code, fix missing stdint.h include.

# Compiling `sqlite-vec`
|
|
|
|
`sqlite-vec` is is easy to compile yourself! It's a single C file with no dependencies, so the process should be straightforward.
|
|
|
|
## From Source
|
|
|
|
To compile `sqlite-vec` as a loadable SQLite extension, you can `git clone` the source repository and run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec
|
|
cd sqlite-vec
|
|
./scripts/vendor.sh
|
|
make loadable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `./scripts/vendor.sh` command will download a recent version of [SQLite's amalgammation builds](https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html), to ensure you have an up-to-date `sqlite3ext.h` available on your system.
|
|
|
|
Then `make loadable` will generate the `sqlite-vec.h` file and a dynamically loadable library at `dist/vec.$SUFFIX`. The suffix will be `.dylib` for MacOS, `.so` for Linux, and `.dll` for Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## From the amalgamation build
|
|
|
|
The "amalgamation" build of `sqlite-vec` is a `.zip` or `.tar.gz` archive with the pre-configured `sqlite-vec.c` and `sqlite-vec.h` source files.
|
|
|
|
The amalgamation builds can be found in [`sqlite-vec` Releases](https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec/releases). You can also download the latest amalgamation build with this command:
|
|
|
|
```-vue
|
|
wget https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec/releases/download/v{{data.VERSION}}/sqlite-vec-{{data.VERSION}}-amalgamation.zip
|
|
unzip sqlite-vec-{{data.VERSION}}-amalgamation.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There will now be `sqlite-vec.c` and `sqlite-vec.h` available in your current directory. To compile it manually, follow the [official SQLite extension compilation instructions](https://www.sqlite.org/loadext.html#compiling_a_loadable_extension), which will be something like:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Linux
|
|
gcc -g -fPIC -shared sqlite-vec.c -o vec0.so
|
|
|
|
# MacOS
|
|
gcc -g -fPIC -dynamiclib sqlite-vec.c -o vec0.dylib
|
|
|
|
# Windows, MSVC compiler
|
|
cl sqlite-vec.c -link -dll -out:sqlite-vec.dll
|
|
|
|
# Windows, MinGW
|
|
gcc -g -shared sqlite-vec.c -o vec0.dll
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Different platforms, compiler, or architectures may require different compilation flags.
|
|
|
|
## Compile-time options
|
|
|
|
There are a few compilation options available for `sqlite-vec`, but they're currently unstable and may change in the future. They aren't tracked with [`sqlite-vec`'s semantic versioning policy ](./versioning.md), so options may break in patch version updates.
|
|
|
|
The current compile-time flags are:
|
|
|
|
- `SQLITE_VEC_ENABLE_AVX`, enables AVX CPU instructions for some vector search operations
|
|
- `SQLITE_VEC_ENABLE_NEON`, enables NEON CPU instructions for some vector search operations
|
|
- `SQLITE_VEC_STATIC`, meant for statically linking `sqlite-vec`
