1This directory contains source code to
2
3 SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine
4
5To compile the project, first create a directory in which to place
6the build products. It is recommended, but not required, that the
7build directory be separate from the source directory. Cd into the
8build directory and then from the build directory run the configure
9script found at the root of the source tree. Then run "make".
10
11For example:
12
13 tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz ;# Unpack the source tree into "sqlite"
14 mkdir bld ;# Build will occur in a sibling directory
15 cd bld ;# Change to the build directory
16 ../sqlite/configure ;# Run the configure script
17 make ;# Run the makefile.
18
19The configure script uses autoconf 2.50 and libtool. If the configure
20script does not work out for you, there is a generic makefile named
21"Makefile.linux-gcc" in the top directory of the source tree that you
22can copy and edit to suite your needs. Comments on the generic makefile
23show what changes are needed.
24
25The linux binaries on the website are created using the generic makefile,
26not the configure script. The configure script is unmaintained. (You
27can volunteer to take over maintenance of the configure script, if you want!)
28The windows binaries on the website are created using MinGW32 configured
29as a cross-compiler running under Linux. For details, see the ./publish.sh
30script at the top-level of the source tree.
