How to build SQLite3 .lib file on Windows 10

  1. Download source from source

    For example: source https://www.sqlite.org/2023/sqlite-amalgamation-3430100.zip

  2. Download binary from binary

    For example: binary https://www.sqlite.org/2023/sqlite-dll-win64-x64-3430100.zip

  3. Extract both archives to the same directory

  4. Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 by typing Developer Command in Windows Search

  5. Go to directory where you've extracted source code and binary files (via opened cmd)

  6. Run lib /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib /MACHINE:x64
