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-3340100.zip

Install SQLite by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr     \
            --disable-static  \
            --enable-fts5     \
            CFLAGS="-g -O2                    \
            -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-3.34.1 &&
cp -v -R sqlite-doc-3340100/* /usr/share/doc/sqlite-3.34.1

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.

CFLAGS="-g -O2 -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. By default, these are set to "-g -O2" so we specify that to preserve those settings. You may, of course, wish to omit the '-g' if you do not wish to create debugging information. For further information on what can be specified see http://www.sqlite.org/compile.html.
