Just for kicks because I wanted to learn "how it was done", I decided to download the amalgamation code and compile to a Win32 DLL. The secondary purpose of my doing so was that I also wanted to write a 3rd party app that'd export all headers of the amalgamation to a different format that I can then use to build into my own units in Delphi. Basically convert the C headers into Delphi headers so I can link to the DLL of the same version. You know, just for "fun". Whether or not my rearranging code works or not.. well.. Its all on my dime, a learning experience, and probably to the professionals in the crowd it'd seem like a waste of time. To them I say "meh". ;)
The one thing I DID notice though is that my compiled version of the DLL in size is much different than what the compiled version is on the sqlite.orgsite. Is there a particular reason for this? What compiler options do I set to bring my the size of the DLL down or is it just the nature of the amalgamation? Just for reference, my DLL, which I baked in the oven about 30 minutes ago now, weighs in at about 850k while the pre-compiled Win32 download version looks to be about 620k. The wife says I need to cut back on calories, so I thought I might start with my hard drives and see how that goes. ;) I'm compiling under Bloodshed Dev-C++ v4.9.9.2. The other thing I wanted to know is whether or not it'd be possible to get source code snapshots of the amalgamation code starting from v3.0 (EDIT: Seemingly 3.2?). or whatever this process started at starting at the major build version 3, and get the incremental "published builds". I've looked at the timeline and at http://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/brlist and I see that the individual files have been modified and checked in, etc, but I don't seem to be able to find sqlite3.c and sqlite.h, or even how I can download a snapshot of the package of that revision even if it is just the individual C files. Is everything in the downloaded archive basically a merge (Think "copy file1+file2+file3 file_final") of all of the required C files when a full build to make the different pre-built packages are done? I'm also a complete newb when it comes to the version control being used for SQLite. I know of version control software, and I use a Win32 only VCS, so have absolutely zero clue on how to obtain a particular version of the code through the means graciously provided. If someone has the time, I'd greatly appreciate a walk through on what to do, and what software has to be put onto my dev machines. I'm a pack rat when it comes to any and all software I come across, so what I'm doing I think flies in the face of what my wife has asked me to do in regards to calories. {smirk} _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
