This project is forked from 2.5.0 SQLite, and fixed for modern C compilers like GCC. Earlier SQLite is perfect source for code reading, and for database design and implementation. For SQLite 2.5.0, it has a core code base less than 20000 LOC in ANSI C which is easy to understand. I digged into historical versions of SQLite, and fixed this version against GCC on MacOS 10.13 and Debian 8. $sloccount SQLite-2.5.0-for-code-reading SLOC Directory SLOC-by-Language (Sorted) 20914 src_top_dir ansic=19895,yacc=584,tcl=435 6831 top_dir sh=6831 6363 www tcl=6363 4051 tool ansic=3606,tcl=372,awk=73 156 test tcl=156 0 doc (none) SQLite: An SQL Database Engine in a C Library To compile the project, first create a directory in which to place the build products. It is recommended, but not required, that the build directory be separate from the source directory. Cd into the build directory and then from the build directory run the configure script found at the root of the source tree. Then run "make". For example: tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz ;# Unpack the source tree into "sqlite" mkdir bld ;# Build will occur in a sibling directory cd bld ;# Change to the build directory ../sqlite/configure ;# Run the configure script make ;# Run the makefile. The configure script uses autoconf 2.50 and libtool. If the configure script does not work out for you, there is a generic makefile named "Makefile.template" in the top directory of the source tree that you can copy and edit to suite your needs. Comments on the generic makefile show what changes are needed. The windows binaries on the website are created using MinGW32 configured as a cross-compiler running under Linux. For details, see the ./publish.sh script at the top-level of the source tree. Contacts: http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sqlite/ drh@hwaci.com
