On the support page http://www.sqlite.org/howtocompile.html, it says:
"The use of the amalgamation is recommended for all applications."
Is this a general recommendation, to use the amalgamated source file
as the preferred way of including SQLite functionality in one's
application, rather than using a separately compiled library?
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?
From the context of the recommendation, one can clearly infer that it
addresses only how SQLite source is presented to the compiler. Whether
the compiler's output is embedded in its own object file, a DLL, or
directly into a calling program is not addressed.
The statement above is accurate.
But at the same time, it is a general recommendation that
you just pull sqlite3.c into your project instead of messing
around with shared libraries and so on.
Why risk ending up with an unexpected (possibly old) version
by linking at runtime just to save users less than 300K of disk
space?
