Hi Reid, That seems to be a problem related to libtool. I tried building sqlite using the configure script on cygwin (and msys) using mingw compiled and libtool doesn't seem to recognize the system as valid to build shared libraries. I don't know of a better way to build the sqlite3.dll library, but i think the tcl extension could be adapted to be built using the Tcl Extension Architecture (TEA). Most packages built for TCL seem to use it and i haven't found any problems so far, only sqlite has to be built by hand :( although i know this kind of change would be hard to integrate with the current build system. Adapting the existing makefile on the sources to build on cygwin/msys seems to be the best option for now. Tiago
