      3     SQLite: An Embeddable SQL Database Engine
      4 
      5 To compile the project, first create a directory in which to place
      6 the build products.  It is recommended, but not required, that the
      7 build directory be separate from the source directory.  Cd into the
      8 build directory and then from the build directory run the configure
      9 script found at the root of the source tree.  Then run "make".
     10 
     11 For example:
     12 
     13     tar xzf sqlite.tar.gz    ;#  Unpack the source tree into "sqlite"
     14     mkdir bld                ;#  Build will occur in a sibling directory
     15     cd bld                   ;#  Change to the build directory
     16     ../sqlite/configure      ;#  Run the configure script
     17     make                     ;#  Run the makefile.
     18     make install             ;#  (Optional) Install the build products
     19 
     20 The configure script uses autoconf 2.61 and libtool.  If the configure
     21 script does not work out for you, there is a generic makefile named
     22 "Makefile.linux-gcc" in the top directory of the source tree that you
     23 can copy and edit to suit your needs.  Comments on the generic makefile
     24 show what changes are needed.
     25 
     26 The linux binaries on the website are created using the generic makefile,
     27 not the configure script.  The windows binaries on the website are created
     28 using MinGW32 configured as a cross-compiler running under Linux.  For 
     29 details, see the ./publish.sh script at the top-level of the source tree.
     30 The developers do not use teh configure script.
     31 
     32 SQLite does not require TCL to run, but a TCL installation is required
     33 by the makefiles.  SQLite contains a lot of generated code and TCL is
     34 used to do much of that code generation.  The makefile also requires
     35 AWK.
