Visual Studio is not designed to use static libraries built by Cygwin. Either build the library with Visual Studio by using the preprocessed sources at http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-source-3_2_4.zip Or build the library with Cygwin and use Cygwin for your own code as well.

However there is no reason you can't either use a static library as described above, or simply include the sqlite source code in your project. See http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=HowToCompile for more hints. e
