System.DllNotFoundException on Mono SQLite

Question

I\'ve been trying to figure this out lately. It is working on my Windows machine, where I got SQLite from NuGet, but...

When I put System.Data.SQLite.dll

Answer 1

I started the development in Windows, but then moved the application to Mono (Ubuntu 14), which is where the SQLite provider failed to load as OP described.

I had to recompile the System.Data.SQLite.dll using the following command:

MSBuild System.Data.SQLite.2012.csproj /t:Rebuild /p:UseInteropDll=false /p:UseSqliteStandard=true 

However, after this I've got the following exception:

The provider did not return a ProviderManifest instance. Method System.Data.SQLite.UnsafeNativeMethods:GetSettingValue (string,string)' is inaccessible from methodSystem.Data.SQLite.EF6.SQLiteProviderManifest:GetProviderManifestToken (string)'

To fix this, I had to recompile the System.Data.SQLite.EF6.dll using the following command:

MSBuild System.Data.SQLite.EF6.2012.csproj /t:Rebuild /p:UseInteropDll=false /p:UseSqliteStandard=true

After copying all of the generated files to Mono project's bin directory, everything worked.

The SQLite provider source code version I had used was 1.0.98.1.

Hope this saves someone a lot of time...
