I've understood that sqlite could be easy included in my applications source. My idea was to do it two different ways parallel. Have a configure option that let me choose to use the amalgamation version included or the distribution wide installed version. The reason is that I had some bad luck integrating applications into Gentoo that include dependency sources. The Linux (here: Gentoo) way is to have shared objects of all dependencies and the ability to let all applications automatic benefit from a new compatible library release. For windows it's for sure easier to simply use the amalgamation version. I hope you could understand this reason. Both ways have their pros and cons. regards Andreas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
