How to add SQLite into your VS project as Static Library
Raw
sqlite_static_cpp.md

I assume that you already created C++ Win32 project where you want to include SQLite.

  1. Navigate to https://www.sqlite.org/download.html and download latest amalgamation source version of SQLite.
  2. Extract all the files into your project directory, or your include path, or separate path that you will add/added as include path in your project properties.
  3. Run Developer Command Prompt for VS **** which is usually available at Start -> Programs -> Visual Studio **** -> Visual Studio Tools.
  4. Navigate with command prompt to that directory where we extracted our SQLite.
  5. Run next command to compile: cl /c /EHsc sqlite3.c
  6. Run next command to create static library: lib sqlite3.obj
  7. Open properties of your project and add sqlite3.lib to Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies.

Now you ready to include and use sqlite3.h in your project.
