Not strange, or anyway not too strange. The linker doesn't know from source code. It only knows the object code references a symbol for which it found no definition. The symbol you want, sqlite3_db_filename appears to be defined in sqlite3ext.h, line 475: #define sqlite3_db_filename sqlite3_api->db_filename If you include that file, the linker shouldn't attempt to resolve the symbol, because the preprocessor defines it away.
