Unfortunately it uses version 2.8.8 of SQLite which is very old. I have used Bloodshed's DevC++ IDE to build apps linked to the libsqlite library produced by a MinGW/MSYS build of SQLite from CVS source. It works as expected. You need to include "sqlite.h" in your source and add the library libsqlite.a (which is stored in the .libs subdirectory by the SQLite Makefile) to the Project Options-Parameters Tab-Linker List so that it gets linked to your application. I write my main routines using C++ so I can use the stream based I/O and all the other features of C++, so this isn't your problem either. I haven't tried linking to a DLL using DevC++, but that should be basically the same, except you will need to produce a gcc compatible import library for the DLL and link to that rather than libsqlite.a. You can do this with dlltool like so; dlltool --implib libsqlitedll.a --dllname sqlite.dll --input-def ./sqlite/sqlite.def Then add libsqlitedll.a to the project instead of libsqlite.a. Make sure you copy sqlite.dll into the same directry as your application (or the windows/system directory). Also remember to set the Project Option-Compiler Tab-Linker options-Generate debugging information to Yes if you want to use the DevC++ built in debugger. I haven't tried to build SQLite using DevC++, but I don't think there would be any difficulty starting from the prepared source for Windows. Building frrom CVS would require adding commands to build the parser generator, lemon.exe, and files like opcodes.h. It's simply easier to use MinGW/MSYS to build since it is supported by the distirbuted SQLite Makefile. I hope this helps.
