No need for a source dependency. Simply include sqlite3.c and sqlite3.h as part of your source tree. When you want to upgrade, grab a new copy of sqlite3.[ch] from the website and drop them in place of the old. In my experience, this is what most developers do. Certainly this is what I do. (Witness the sqlite3.c source file found in the source to http://fossil-scm.hwaci.com/) The SQLite source code is also found in trees for and statically linked with PHP, Monotone, Firefox, Skype clients, McAfee products, Google Gears, Adobe Lightroom and Acroread, and countless other programs, known and unknown. In fact, the only company I know of that makes use of shared libraries for SQLite is Apple. They can get away with this because they control the operating system. But notice that 3rd-party products that run on a Mac still generally statically link against their own SQLite rather than use whatever shared library that Apple supplies. I think you are better of picking a version of SQLite that you like, making it a part of your source tree, and going with that. It is simple enough to upgrade - just drop in a new file. Trying to "install" SQLite or making dependencies on SQLite just complicates matters unnecessarily. -- D.
