Okay, nice! I'm so glad that it can be done. My goal is to make SQLite3 be
part of the base system in a customized FreeBSD build to make it embedded.
I am checking the version and it's updated 3.93.3 as I'm using the
14.0-CURRENT. I need to figure-out this BSD make and glues you've mentioned
to make this happen.

Oh I see, now I know its purpose. Currently, I have my system installed
with SQLite3 via package install 'pkg install sqlite3' and it works very
well but because this time I want something embeddable. It so happened that
I was checking the source and surprisingly found sqlite3. Anyway, let me
explore and try.

Thanks and best regards,
