Re: [sqlite] Linking to SQLite with Cygwin / CMake

[Kiel W.]

Ok, I'm definately thinking this is just a problem with my understanding 
of the build process in *nix's and the quirks of Cygwin.

I am getting the following warning with the default Makefile that is 
generated.
"libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin 
shared libraries"

I found that this is because Windows(r) dlls can't have undefined 
symbols in them and the warning can be removed with the following flag: 
'-no-undefined'.  This also generates some other information that is not 
helpful to me (probably someone else).  However, this didn't seem to 
produce a static library (either .a or .lib).

I ran across the 'make sqlite3.dll' target in the make file and tried 
that. It succeeded without any problems and generated a .dll.  I tried 
the companion 'make sqlite3.lib' and this fails because it can't find 
impdef/implib/lib.

If anyone as other suggestions, or steps to build a static lib under 
Cygwin I'd appreciate it, otherwise I may just bite the bullet and see 
about going the shared libary route.
