I have d/l the binary distribution for windows. I am wanting to try the c

compiled/built that I can d/l? Or perhaps someone can send them to me?

Bradley,
You didn't say which file you downloaded, but I suspect it was
sqlite-3.2.6.zip from the download page
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html. This file contains only the command
line version of SQLite.
To build your own application that uses SQLite you will need to download
the DLL. This is in the file sqlitedll-3.2.6.zip. You will also need the
sqlite header file in order to use the DLL (I think it should be
included in the DLL download, but it isn't). You can get the header by
downloading the file sqlite-source-3.2.6.zip and extracting the file
sqlite3.h.
The last thing you need to do is generate a lib file that will let your
compiler link your application to the DLL. How you do this depends upon
which compiler you are using. For MS Visual C you use the lib utility
and the file sqlite3.def that came with the DLL:
lib /machine:i386 /def:sqlite3.def
This will generate a lib file sqlite3.lib which you link with your code.
For Borland C you need the impdef and implib utilities (at least I do,
implib should work by itself, but I get link errors with sqlite3_reset
when I do it that way). This generates a def file from the DLL and then
a lib file from the def file.
impdef -a mysqlite3.def sqlite3.dll
implib sqlite3.lib mysqlite3.def
For GCC you don't need to do anything, it can link directly to the DLL
and doesn't need a lib file.
HTH, and good luck with SQLite.
