A brief report on building sqlite-3.3.4 with MinGW/MSYS and tcl84 on WinXP...
1. After configure, a small edit was necessary to the Makefile; for some reason libtool doesn't put .lo objects into .libs subdirectory anymore; there was also an issue reported on the mailing list with stripping the DLL; so I changed the dll target to: dll: sqlite3.dll REAL_LIBOBJ = $(LIBOBJ:%.lo=%.o) sqlite3.dll: $(LIBOBJ) $(TOP)/sqlite3.def dllwrap --dllname sqlite3.dll --def $(TOP)/sqlite3.def $(REAL_LIBOBJ) strip --strip-unneeded sqlite3.dll 2. gcc 3.4.5 blew up trying to compile tclsqlite.c I was able to work around the problem by adding these lines in tclsqlite.c: #undef EXTERN #define EXTERN extern Without these lines, EXTERN is translated to __declspec((dllimport)) which is not what we want, and was giving gcc fits (ICE) for some reason. I also wonder about the purpose of #ifdef BUILD_sqlite #undef TCL_STORAGE_CLASS #define TCL_STORAGE_CLASS DLLEXPORT #endif /* BUILD_sqlite */ since TCL_STORAGE_CLASS doesn't see to be used anywhere in the file.
