Dear Sir, I am in computer field since 1988 and I have started my career with pc with two 360k floppy drivers. I have some accounting package I have written using sqlite as a back end and even though my pc is not accepting hard disk I have to run this software any how. I am on Windows platform and do not have in deth knowledge about Linux. Regarding remving reference og mmap and munmap one gentlmen fromcomp.os.msdos.djgpp claimed, he has compiled sqlite bu removing these references and that he is using the library without any problem. I have got othersuch replies from stackoverflow too. I have used malloc function instead and I shall be replacing it with memory allocation routines for DPMI. In my about 25 years carrer in software I have developed many commercial applications which fit on a single floppy. Although I m used to Microsoft Vista and bulky software, I still love the immediate startup though floppy. I certainly lack knowledge of linux architecture although I am using puppylinux for some years now. I shall be thankful to you, if you kindly guide me in compiling sqlite3 in proper way. Thanking you. -Mahesh Chavan On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 10:52 PM, Ryan Johnson <ryan.john...@cs.utoronto.ca>wrote:
