Database & Application Miscellaneous: Zip file with prebuilt DLL incomplete

• arjenmarkus / 116 / Sun, 03 Jan 2010 21:09:00 GMT / Comments (2)
• Hello,
  
  I downloaded the sqlitedll-3_2_7.zip file the other day
  to do some initial experiments with SQLite, but it turns
  out that this zip-file only contains the DLL itself and
  the definitions file.
  
  If I understand it correctly, it is possible to link
  against the DLL using that definition file, but it is
  more common to use the import library.
  
  But even so, the sqlite3.h header file is missing.
  So the zip-file as such is not useable.
  
  Kind regards,
  
  Arjen Markus

• 1. Indeed it should probably include sqlite3.h, but you are supposed to
     generate an import .lib for your compiler using the .def file. VC++ comes
     with lib.exe, I'm not sure how you do it with others.

     I know that the GNU compilers have a similar utility - I just have never
     used either (being lazy, I mostly rely on the compiler to provide the
     lib file - that does require the use of non-standard keywords, but
     you can hide those).
     
     Anyway, the header file is needed, as you say.
