According to the vendor's statement, usage of this distribution format is discouraged (http://www.sqlite.org/download.html): A ZIP archive of the complete source tree for SQLite version 3.7.11 as extracted from the version control system. The Makefile and configure script in this tarball are not supported. Their use is not recommended. The SQLite developers do not use them. You should not use them either. If you want a configure script and an automated build, use either the amalgamation tarball or TEA tarball instead of this one. To build from this tarball, hand-edit one of the template Makefiles in the root directory of the tarball and build using your own customized Makefile. Instead sqlite-autoconf-<version>.tar.gz should be used. It's smaller and has fewer requirements, as doesn't require TCL and unzip, which is a bonus in itself. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
