Installation of SQLite

If you downloaded the optional documentation, issue the following command to install the documentation into the source tree:

unzip -q ../sqlite-doc-3350400.zip

Install SQLite by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --disable-static  \
            --enable-fts5     \
            CPPFLAGS="-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1  \
            -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4=1            \
            -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA=1 \
            -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY=1   \
            -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBSTAT_VTAB=1     \
            -DSQLITE_SECURE_DELETE=1          \
            -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER=1" &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install

If you downloaded the optional documentation, issue the following commands as the root user to install it:

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.35.4 &&
cp -v -R sqlite-doc-3350400/* /usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.35.4

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-fts5: This switch enables support for version 5 of the full text search extension.

CPPFLAGS="-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS4=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA=1 -DSQLITE_SECURE_DELETE -DSQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY=1 -DSQLITE_ENABLE_DBSTAT_VTAB=1": Applications such as SeaMonkey require these options to be turned on. The only way to do this is to include them in the CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS. We use the latter so the default value (or any value set by the user) of CFLAGS won't be affected. For further information on what can be specified see http://www.sqlite.org/compile.html.
