The debug symbols.
strip sqlite3.exe
The sqlite3.exe posted on the website is built with a MinGW gcc cross
compiler hosted on Linux. It is not dependent on cygwin DLLs, unlike the
cygwin version:
# cygwin
$ cygcheck ./sqlite3.exe
.\sqlite3.exe
c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\RPCRT4.DLL
c:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline6.dll
c:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-8.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\USER32.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\GDI32.DLL
# MinGW
$ cygcheck ./sqlite3.exe
.\sqlite3.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINNT\system32\NTDLL.DLL
C:\WINNT\system32\msvcrt.dll
DLLs aside, the cygwin version has the advantage of playing nice with
rxvt and xterm.
