SQLite isn't much different than any other autotools-based package in this regard. If you're wanting to do a firmware build, and include the SQLite pieces in their correct location in your target root filesystem, you can just do something like: cd /path/to/sqlite-3.6.15 ./configure --prefix=/my/target/rootfs --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi make install If all you want is to run the sqlite3 executable, though, you can just take the cross-compiled binary + shared-lib and throw them onto the target. Note that you'll need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running "sqlite3" to prevent it from complaining about missing libraries, unless /lib is writable on your target. -- Matthew L.
