Yes. SQLite is so small there's really no reason to make a separate library of it. And using libraries causes problems when different apps on your computer try to use different versions of SQLite. > Or should I read this as a recommendation just in case I need to > compile SQLite from source, and need to decide between using the > amalgamation or using the individual source files? Whatever you're compiling, a stand-alone app or a library, use the amalgamation rather than the complicated mass of separate source files. The source files are very useful when trying to understand how SQLite works, but the amalgamation is better when compiling.
